Technical Specifications & Application

Instructions for Professional Results

1. Prepare the surface: Make sure the surface is clean and free of factory residue, wax, oil, dust, or loose material. For leather, plastic, metal, vinyl, or other slick surfaces, light scuffing with a fine-grit pad can improve adhesion.
2. Shake and mix well: Metallic pigments can settle in the bottle, so mix thoroughly before spraying to keep the gold effect even.
3. Test before painting: Spray a small test area first to check flow, metallic reflection, color strength, and surface adhesion.
4. Apply in light coats: Build the Solar Gold finish gradually with thin, even passes instead of one heavy coat. This helps keep the metallic particles more even and reduces pooling.
5. Use a supportive base color: For a brighter gold effect, apply over white, light grey, yellow, pearl, or another light base. For a deeper antique gold effect, test over brown, black, or warm sepia tones.
6. Heat set when needed: For hard surfaces, use low heat carefully to help cure the paint. For fabrics, use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for about 30 seconds.
7. Protect high-wear projects: For sneakers, leather goods, props, and handled items, seal the finished artwork with Jacquard Airbrush Clear Varnish after the paint has fully dried.
8. Clean immediately after use: Flush your airbrush with water or airbrush cleaner while the paint is still wet to prevent metallic pigment buildup in the nozzle and paint path.

SprayGunner Pro Tips

• For brighter metallic gold: Apply Solar Gold over a white, light grey, yellow, pearl, or warm light base to make the gold look cleaner and more reflective.
• For antique gold effects: Apply over brown, sepia, black, or dark red bases to create a deeper aged-gold finish.
• For smoother spraying: Use a 0.5 mm nozzle or larger. Metallic pigments need more flow than many standard colors.
• For models and props: Use it on armor trim, decorative borders, fantasy figures, trophies, insignias, weapons, panels, and small metallic details.
• For better durability: Use a compatible clear topcoat on high-contact surfaces like sneakers, leather goods, helmets, and props.
