Jacquard Airbrush Color - Opaque White (8 oz)
Set the foundation for your creative projects with the professional standard for custom sneakers, textiles, and multi-surface airbrushing. Jacquard Opaque White Airbrush Color is a premium, high-pigment fluid acrylic engineered for artists who demand unsurpassed coverage and maximum flexibility. Originally designed for textiles, this paint has become the industry favorite for custom sneaker artists due to its superior resistance to cracking, peeling, and chipping.
The 8 oz bottle is the perfect choice for professional artists and high-volume customizers who need a reliable supply of their most essential color. Whether you are using it as a vibrant base coat on dark surfaces or for crisp highlights on leather, vinyl, or plastic, this odorless, non-toxic formula delivers a clean, solid white finish that remains soft to the touch and exceptionally washfast.
Why Choose Jacquard Opaque Airbrush Paint?
- Ready-to-Spray: Optimized for smooth delivery right out of the bottle—no thinning or additives required for most applications.
- Superior Adhesion: Bonds permanently to non-traditional surfaces like rubber, leather, PVC, and fabric.
- Pro-Grade Performance: Formulated to perform at low pressures with minimal tip-dry and clogging.
- High Opacity: Provides excellent "hide," making it the essential base layer to make neon or transparent colors pop on dark backgrounds.

Application Instructions
- Surface Prep: Ensure surfaces are free of wax, dirt, and factory conditioners. For leathers and fabrics, pre-wash thoroughly. For hard plastics or metals, a light sanding or primer is recommended.
- Light Coats: Apply in thin, even layers. Avoid over-saturating the surface to maintain maximum flexibility and prevent peeling.
-
Heat Setting:
- Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun to set the paint.
- Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for 30 seconds.
- Optional Varnish: For added durability on high-wear hard surfaces, topcoat with Jacquard Clear Varnish after the paint has fully cured.
Pro Tips for Better Airbrushing
- The Essential Base: Always use Opaque White as a base layer when working on dark shoes or surfaces to ensure your top colors (especially Fluorescents) stay bright and true to tone.
- Prevent Clogging: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes and keep bottle caps tight to prevent the acrylic from skinning over.
- Custom Mixing: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors are intermixable. Mix Opaque White with any Opaque or Transparent color to create custom pastels and lighter tints.
