Application & Heat Setting Instructions
-
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are free of waxes and factory conditioners. Use a primer for bare metal to ensure maximum bond strength.
-
Base Coat Tip: For a traditional "Candy" look, apply over a solid black base for a darker, moodier red, or a white/silver base for maximum shimmer.
-
Mist Coats: Apply in light, even layers. Avoid over-saturating the surface to prevent pooling and ensure the iridescent particles lay flat.
-
Permanent Curing: Once dry, heat set on hard surfaces with a heat gun. For textiles, heat set with a dry iron at the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
Expert Airbrushing Tips
-
Equipment Care: Because this color contains larger iridescent pigments, always ensure you are using a 0.5 mm nozzle or larger to prevent clogs.
-
Prevent Internal Drying: Never leave paint sitting in the airbrush idle. Flush your equipment thoroughly with water between color changes.
-
Finish Protection: For high-wear items like sneakers or plastic toys, apply a Jacquard Varnish topcoat to protect the iridescent finish from scuffs.
