Technical Specifications & Application

To achieve a museum-quality finish with Jacquard Metallic Solar Gold, follow these SprayGunner guidelines:

Instructions for Professional Results

1. Preparation: Surface must be free of factory waxes, conditioners, and dirt. For leather, use a high-quality preparer. For hard plastics or metal, a light scuff with a fine-grit pad ensures a permanent bond.
2. Mist Passes: Apply in light, even coats. Building the gold in thin layers prevents the heavy metallic pigments from pooling and ensures a uniform, reflective sheen.
3. Heat Setting:
   • Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun on low to cure the paint once it is air-dry.
   • Fabrics/Textiles: Use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for 30 seconds to lock in the metallic shimmer.
4. Enhanced Protection: For high-wear items, finish with a topcoat of Jacquard Airbrush Clear Varnish to maximize scuff resistance and shine.

Expert Tips for Metallic Airbrushing

• Nozzle Maintenance: Metallic paints contain real mica flakes. Always use a 0.5 mm tip or larger and never let the paint sit idle in the airbrush bowl to prevent pigment settling and clogging.
• Base Color Dynamics: For a bright, brilliant gold, apply over a white or yellow base. For a deep, "antique" gold look, apply over a black or dark brown base.
• Intermixable: Create your own custom metallic shades by mixing Solar Gold with Metallic Silver for a champagne tone or Opaque Sepia for a weathered bronze effect.
• Safe for Studios: This water-based, non-toxic formula is perfect for home workshops and indoor professional environments.
