Application & Heat Setting Instructions
- Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are free of factory waxes and conditioners. Use a primer for bare metal to ensure maximum adhesion.
- Base Coat Selection: Metallic Copper works exceptionally well on both light and dark surfaces. Apply over a black base for a deep, antique copper look or a white base for a bright, fiery finish.
- Mist Coats: Apply in light, even layers. Avoid over-saturating the material to ensure the metallic particles align for a uniform shimmering effect.
- Permanent Curing: Use a heat gun on hard surfaces once dry. For fabric, heat set with a dry iron at the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
Expert Airbrushing Tips
- Particle Management: Because metallic colors contain larger pigments, using a 0.5 mm nozzle ensures a smooth spray without clogging.
- Prevent Clogging: Never let metallic paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush your equipment thoroughly between color changes to prevent internal drying.
- Varnish for Wear: For high-traffic hard surfaces, apply an optional layer of Jacquard Varnish to maximize scuff resistance and preserve the copper luster.
