Jacquard Airbrush Color - Transparent Yellow (4 oz)
Inject warmth, luminosity, and professional layering into your large-scale designs with the industry standard for custom sneakers, textiles, and multi-surface airbrushing. Jacquard Transparent Yellow is a premium, fluid acrylic paint engineered for artists who require smooth transitions and sophisticated color-building. 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 colors, this transparent formula allows the underlying surface or base coat to shine through, making it the perfect tool for creating "sun-kissed" gradients, electric highlights, and vibrant gold-tones on leather, vinyl, plastic, or fabric. The 4 oz bottle is the ideal volume for professional studios, high-volume production work, and extensive customization projects.
Why Choose Jacquard Transparent Airbrush Paint?
- Ideal for Glazing: Perfect for creating smooth transitions, layering over metallic bases for a "candy" effect, or tinting existing colors without losing surface detail.
- 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 Yellow, 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 Intensity: Apply in light, even coats. Because this is a transparent color, the final vibrance is built through layering. "Build" the yellow slowly to maintain complete control over the depth and glow.

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
- Luminous Candy Gold: Spray Transparent Yellow over a base of Jacquard Metallic Silver to create a stunning, deep metallic gold finish with incredible visual depth.
- Best on Light Bases: Transparent colors perform best on white or light-colored surfaces. If working on a dark base, apply a layer of Jacquard Opaque White first to ensure the yellow remains bright and visible.
- Maintenance: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance and prevent internal drying.
