Application & Heat Setting Instructions
-
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are free of waxes and conditioners. For bare metal, a primer is recommended to ensure a permanent bond.
-
The "White Base" Rule: Since fluorescent colors are naturally semi-transparent, apply over a solid white base coat to achieve maximum neon luminosity.
-
Spraying: Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturation to prevent runs and maintain the paint's inherent flexibility.
-
Curing: Once dry, use a heat gun on hard surfaces. For fabric, heat set with a dry iron at the material-appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
-
Optional Seal: On high-wear hard surfaces, apply a Jacquard Clear Varnish topcoat for added protection.
Expert Tips for Airbrushing Professionals
-
Color Blending: All Jacquard colors are intermixable mix Fluorescent Raspberry with White for a glowing pastel or with Fluorescent Blue for a neon violet.
-
Maintenance: To prevent internal drying, never let neon paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush your gear thoroughly between color changes.
-
Opacity Control: Fluorescent colors build beautifully. Use multiple thin coats rather than one heavy layer to preserve surface texture and detail.
