Jacquard Airbrush Color - Fire Red (4 oz) | Sneaker Series
Ignite your designs with Jacquard Fire Red, a high-intensity cornerstone of the specialized Sneaker Series. This premium fluid acrylic is specifically engineered for artists who demand unsurpassed coverage and high flexibility on footwear and apparel. While originally formulated for textiles, this paint has become the industry favorite for custom sneaker artists due to its incredible resistance to cracking, peeling, and chipping.
Whether you are working on leather, vinyl, plastic, or synthetic fabrics, this odorless, non-toxic formula delivers a bold, classic red finish that remains soft to the touch and exceptionally washfast. The 4 oz bottle is the perfect size for significant customizations, panel work, and professional studio use.
Why Choose Jacquard Sneaker Series Airbrush Paint?
- Ready-to-Spray: Optimized for use right out of the bottleâno additives or thinning required for standard airbrush setups.
- Superior Adhesion: Bonds permanently to non-traditional surfaces like rubber, leather, and PVC.
- Pro-Grade Performance: Formulated to perform at low pressures with minimal tip-dry and clogging.
- Exceptional Durability: Highly flexible finish that stands up to the constant movement and "toe-box" creasing of footwear.
Technical Specifications & Application

Application Instructions
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean. Leathers and fabrics must be washed to remove dirt, factory waxes, and conditioners. For hard plastics, a light sanding is recommended.
- Light Coats: Apply in thin, even layers. Avoid over-saturating the surface to ensure maximum flexibility and prevent peeling.
-
Heat Setting:
- Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun to properly cure the paint.
- Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
- Optional Varnish: For maximum protection on high-wear sneakers, apply a topcoat of Jacquard Clear Varnish after the paint has fully cured.
Pro Tips for Sneaker Customization
- Vibrant Foundations: Fire Red is a highly saturated opaque color. For an even more "electric" result on dark surfaces, apply a quick base layer of Jacquard Opaque White first.
- Maintenance: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance and consistent spray patterns.
- Custom Blending: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors are intermixable. Blend Fire Red with Opaque Yellow for custom oranges or Opaque White for various shades of pink.
