Application & Heat Setting Instructions
- Base Preparation: For the most vibrant neon effect, apply over a white or light-colored base coat. Clean all surfaces to remove waxes or factory conditioners.
- Light Passes: Spray in thin, light coats to prevent over-saturation. This ensures the paint remains flexible and bonds securely to the surface.
- Setting the Bond: Once dry, heat set on hard surfaces with a heat gun. For textiles, use a dry iron at the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
- Topcoat Protection: (Optional) For maximum durability on high-wear hard surfaces, apply a layer of Jacquard Varnish after the paint has fully cured.
Expert Tips for High-Traffic Customs
- Transparency Note: Fluorescent colors are naturally semi-transparent. Applying them over a solid Opaque White base is essential for achieving the electric Blue glow shown on the bottle.
- Equipment Check: Before starting, check for bent needles or tips to avoid spattering. Ensure your 0.5 mm nozzle is clear for the best atomization of neon pigments.
- Prevent Drying: Keep bottle caps closed when not in use. If the paint sits idle in your airbrush for too long, flush with water immediately to prevent internal clogs and maintain a consistent spray pattern.
