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.
- Layering: Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the surface to ensure a flexible bond and prevent paint fatigue.
-
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
- High Visibility: As an Opaque color, this yellow provides excellent coverage. For the most "neon-like" pop on very dark surfaces, consider a quick base layer of Opaque White first.
- Prevent Clogging: To maintain smooth performance, never let paint sit idle in the 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 Yellow with Opaque Red to create custom oranges or Opaque Green for vibrant chartreuse tones.
