Jacquard Metallic Red is a professional-grade fluid acrylic engineered for high-performance adhesion and a brilliant shimmering effect. Available at SprayGunner, this 4 oz value size is the top choice for cosplay armor makers and sneaker customizers who require a durable finish that resists cracking and peeling on flexible surfaces.

Whether you are detailing vinyl accessories, painting leather footwear, or airbrushing fabric, it remains soft to the touch and becomes completely washfast once properly heat-set.

Why Choose Jacquard Metallic Red?

• Ready-to-Spray: Optimized for smooth flow directly from the bottle, reducing tip-dry and clogging during long painting sessions.
• Multi-Surface Adhesion: Permanently bonds to properly prepared leather, vinyl, plastic, rubber, wood, and even metal.
• Safe & Studio-Friendly: Non-toxic, odorless, and water-based—ideal for indoor workshops and home studios.

Technical Specifications & Application

For high-quality results with Jacquard Metallic Red, follow these SprayGunner technical guidelines:

Instructions for Professional Results

1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is free of oils, factory waxes, and dirt. For leather and fabrics, pre-wash thoroughly. For hard plastics, resin, or metal, a light scuff with a fine-grit pad or a primer is recommended for maximum grip.
2. Layering: Apply in light, even passes. Building the color in thin layers ensures a uniform metallic distribution and prevents the paint from pooling.
3. Heat Setting:
   • Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun on low to help cure the paint after it is air-dried.
   • Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate setting for 30 seconds to lock in the color.
4. Optional Topcoat: For items subject to high wear, apply Jacquard Airbrush Clear Varnish to provide an extra layer of scuff resistance.

Expert Airbrushing Tips

• Avoid Clogging: Metallic paints contain tiny flakes to create their shimmer. Using a 0.5 mm tip or larger is essential to allow these particles to pass through without interruption.
• Maintenance: Never let metallic paint sit idle in your airbrush bowl for extended periods. Flush your equipment thoroughly immediately after finishing your session to prevent internal buildup.
• Base Color Dynamics: For a darker, "Cherry Metallic" look, apply over a black base. For a bright, fiery red, use a white or silver base.
• Intermixable: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors can be mixed. Add Opaque White for a metallic pink or Metallic Gold for a customized sunset orange shimmer.
