Jacquard Airbrush Color Iridescent Teal 4 oz

Jacquard Airbrush Color Iridescent Teal 4 oz

Jacquard Airbrush Color Iridescent Teal 4 oz delivers a shimmering teal finish in a ready-to-spray, water-based fluid acrylic formula. Originally formulated for textiles and widely used for sneakers, cosplay, and multi-surface airbrushing, it adheres well to properly prepared fabric, leather, vinyl, plastic, rubber, wood, paper, clay, canvas, and metal. Like other iridescent colors, its appearance can shift depending on the surface and the lighting, so testing on the intended substrate is recommended before final application.

Instructions

Surface Preparation: All surfaces must be clean. Leathers and fabrics must be washed to remove dirt, waxes, sizings and conditioners. Non-porous surfaces, like metal and plastic, may require light sanding. Bare metal may require a primer. For durability, on hard surfaces, topcoat with the varnish.

Application: 

Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the surface. Use approximately 40 psi, and the nib size should be no less than 0.5 mm. Paints are intermixable for a full range of colors. Heat set paint with a heat gun on hard surfaces. For fabric, heat set with a dry iron at the appropriate fabric setting for 30 seconds.

Varnish Instructions: 

(Optional) After airbrush paint has completely dried, spray varnish in a light even coat. 
Repeat, if desired, after first coat has thoroughly dried.

Tips for Airbrushing:

•  Before starting on your piece, check to make sure all of your equipment is working properly. Check for bent needle or tip and replace if necessary. Make sure that the compressor is functioning correctly and you have the air pressure adjusted to where you want it.
• Be sure you are using the correct tip size for the paint and your setup.
• Don't let colors sit too long in the airbrush without use, causing paint to dry in the airbrush.
• Place caps on bottles when not in use so they do not dry out.
• Dilute colors with water only when slight thinning is needed.
• Be sure to clean your equipment thoroughly when you are finished.
• Iridescent colors can shift with the light and with the type and color of the surface, so always test before final application
