Application & Heat Setting Instructions
-
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are free of waxes, oils, and conditioners. Use a primer on bare metal to ensure maximum bond strength.
-
Base Coat Strategy: Metallic colors work beautifully on both light and dark surfaces. Apply over a black base for a deeper, moodier metallic blue, or a white base for a bright, vibrant shine.
-
Mist Coats: Apply in light, even layers. Avoid over-saturating the material to ensure the metallic particles settle evenly for a uniform finish.
-
Permanent Curing: Use a heat gun on hard surfaces once dry. For textiles, heat set with a dry iron at the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
Expert Airbrushing Tips
-
Nozzle Maintenance: Due to the metallic pigment size, a 0.5 mm nozzle is essential to prevent clogs and ensure a consistent spray pattern.
-
Prevent Internal Drying: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush your gear thoroughly between color changes.
-
Protective Seal: For high-wear items, apply an optional layer of Jacquard Varnish to maximize scuff resistance and protect the metallic shine.
