Jacquard Airbrush Color - Transparent White (4 oz)
Perfect your highlights and master subtle color transitions with the professional standard for custom sneakers, textiles, and multi-surface airbrushing. Jacquard Transparent White is a premium, fluid acrylic paint engineered for artists who require delicate tinting and sophisticated layering. Originally formulated for textiles, this paint is a top choice for custom sneaker artists due to its superior resistance to cracking, peeling, and chipping.
Unlike Opaque White, which completely masks the surface, Transparent White allows for "ghosting" effects, soft highlights, and the gradual lightening of base colors without making them milky or chalky. The 4 oz bottle is the ideal volume for professional studios, high-volume production, and extensive customization projects where consistency across large batches is key.
Why Choose Jacquard Transparent Airbrush Paint?
- Subtle Highlighting: Ideal for creating soft glows, realistic reflections, and gradual "fades" between colors.
- Ready-to-Spray: Optimized for a smooth flow right out of the bottleâno additives or thinning required for standard 0.5 mm setups.
- Superior Adhesion: Bonds permanently to non-traditional surfaces like rubber, leather, PVC, and synthetic fibers.
- Pro-Grade Performance: Formulated to perform at low pressures with minimal tip-dry and clogging.
Technical Specifications & Application
To achieve professional results with Jacquard Transparent White, follow these guidelines:
| Feature | Recommendation |
|---|---|

Application Instructions
- Surface Prep: Ensure all surfaces are free of wax, dirt, and factory conditioners. For leathers and fabrics, pre-wash thoroughly. For hard surfaces, a light sanding and/or primer is recommended.
- Building Highlights: Apply in light, even coats. Because this is a transparent color, "build" your highlights slowly. Multiple passes will result in a brighter white, while a single pass creates a subtle atmospheric tint.

Heat Setting:
- Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun to properly cure the paint.
- Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for 30 seconds.
- Optional Varnish: For maximum protection on high-wear items like footwear, apply a topcoat of varnish after the paint has fully dried.
Pro Tips for Professional Results
- Color Softening: Use Transparent White to mist over high-contrast edges to "pull back" the intensity and create a more natural, blended appearance.
- Tinting: Mix Transparent White with other Transparent colors to create custom "pastel" tints that maintain a level of translucency, unlike mixes made with Opaque White.
- Maintenance: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance and prevent internal drying.
