Jacquard Airbrush Color - Opaque Red (0.5 oz)
Elevate your art with the professional standard for custom sneakers, textiles, and multi-surface airbrushing. Jacquard Opaque Red Airbrush Color is a premium, fluid acrylic paint specifically engineered for artists who demand unsurpassed coverage and high flexibility. While originally formulated for textiles, this paint has become the top choice for custom sneaker artists due to its industry-leading resistance to cracking, peeling, and chipping.
Whether you are customizing leather, vinyl, plastic, or synthetic fabrics, this odorless, non-toxic formula provides a bold, solid red finish that remains soft to the touch and exceptionally washfast. Optimized for performance, it is the perfect addition to any professional airbrush kit.

Application Instructions for Best Results
- Surface Prep: Surfaces must be free of wax, dirt, and factory conditioners. For leathers and fabrics, pre-washing is essential. For hard plastics or metals, light sanding and a primer are recommended.
- Layering: Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the surface to ensure a flexible bond and prevent runs.
-
Heat Setting:
- Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun to properly cure the paint.
- Fabrics: Use a dry iron at the appropriate setting for the fabric for 30 seconds.
- Varnish (Optional): For maximum protection on high-wear hard surfaces, apply a topcoat of varnish after the paint has fully dried.
Pro Tips for Better Airbrushing
- Vibrant Opacity: As an Opaque color, this red provides excellent "hide" and pop on both light and dark backgrounds.
- Equipment Care: To prevent clogging, never let paint sit idle in your airbrush. Flush with water between color changes and keep bottle caps tight when not in use.
- Custom Mixing: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors are intermixable. Blend Opaque Red with Opaque White for vibrant pinks or Opaque Yellow to create custom oranges.
