Master the urban aesthetic with Jacquard Concrete Grey, a cornerstone of the specialized Sneaker Series. This premium fluid acrylic is specifically engineered for artists who demand unsurpassed coverage and high flexibility on footwear and apparel.

The 4 oz bottle is the ideal size for large-scale customizations, mid-sole repaints, and professional studio use.

Application Instructions
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean. Leathers and fabrics must be washed to remove dirt, factory waxes, and conditioners. For hard plastics, a light sanding is recommended.
- Light Coats: Apply in thin, even layers. Avoid over-saturating the surface to ensure maximum flexibility and prevent peeling.
-
Heat Setting:
- Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun to properly cure the paint.
- Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
- Optional Varnish: For maximum protection on high-wear sneakers, apply a topcoat of Jacquard Clear Varnish after the paint has fully cured.
Pro Tips for Sneaker Customization
- Neutral Versatility: Concrete Grey is an essential neutral for urban designs, camouflage patterns, and cement-style textures. It provides full opaque coverage on both light and dark base materials.
- Maintenance: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush with water between color changes to maintain smooth performance and consistent spray patterns.
- Custom Blending: All Jacquard Airbrush Colors are intermixable. Blend Concrete Grey with Opaque White to create lighter mist tones or Opaque Black for deep charcoal shades.
