Application Instructions
- Surface Prep: Ensure surfaces are free of wax, dirt, and oils. For bare metal or hard plastics, a light sanding or primer is recommended.
- Light Coats: Apply in thin, even layers to avoid over-saturation and ensure maximum adhesion.
-
Heat Setting:
- Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun to set the paint.
- Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for 30 seconds.
- Optional Varnish: For maximum protection on high-wear items, apply a topcoat of varnish after the paint has fully cured.
Pro Tips for Better Airbrushing
- Metallic Pigments: Because metallic particles are larger, always ensure your needle/nozzle size is at least 0.5 mm to prevent clogs.
- Prevent Clogging: Never let metallic paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes.
- Layering: Metallic Silver provides a high-depth "liquid metal" look. It performs exceptionally well over a black base for a chrome effect or a white base for a bright, clean silver.
