Application Instructions for Best Results
- Surface Prep: Ensure surfaces are 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.
- Light Coats: Apply in thin, even layers to avoid over-saturation. This ensures the paint remains flexible and bonds securely to the surface.
-
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.
- Optional Varnish: For maximum protection on high-wear items, apply a topcoat of Jacquard Clear Varnish after the paint has fully cured.
Pro Tips for Professional Results
- Total Opacity: Unlike transparent colors, Opaque Violet provides full coverage even on dark backgrounds, making it ideal for sharp graphic designs and vibrant base layers.
- Prevent Clogging: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance and consistent flow.
- Custom Mixing: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors are intermixable. Blend Opaque Violet with Opaque White to create soft lavender tones or Opaque Blue for custom indigo shades.
