Technical Specifications & Application Guidelines

Instructions for Best Results
- Surface Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are free of waxes, oils, and factory conditioners. For leathers and fabrics, pre-wash thoroughly. For hard plastics or metals, a light sanding or primer is recommended for maximum longevity.
- Application: Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the surface to prevent runs or "muddy" textures and to ensure the most flexible bond.
- Heat Setting: To ensure a permanent, washfast bond, use a heat gun on hard surfaces. For textiles, use a dry iron at the appropriate setting for the fabric for 30 seconds.
- Varnish Finishing: Apply the included clear varnish in a light coat after your paint has fully cured to provide a durable, protective shield against scuffs.
Pro Maintenance & Tips
- Thinning for Detail: While ready-to-spray, these colors can be diluted slightly with water for fine detail work or lower-pressure applications.
- Clog Prevention: Never let paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush your equipment between color changes and keep bottle caps tight to prevent the fluid acrylic from skinning over.
- Maximum Coverage: Because these are Opaque colors, they provide excellent "hide" and can be used to cover dark surfaces or to create sharp, solid graphic layers.
