Instructions for Professional Results
- Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean before painting. For leather and fabric, wash thoroughly to remove dirt, waxes, sizings, and conditioners. Non-porous surfaces such as plastic and metal may require light sanding. Bare metal may require a primer. For added durability on hard surfaces, apply a compatible varnish after the paint has dried.
- Application: Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the surface. Use approximately 40 PSI, and a nib size no smaller than 0.5 mm. Paints are intermixable for a full range of custom colors.
- Heat Setting: For hard surfaces, use gentle heat as needed to help cure the paint. For fabric, heat set with a dry iron on the appropriate setting for about 30 seconds.
- Varnish (Optional): After the paint has completely dried, spray varnish in a light, even coat. Repeat if desired after the first coat has thoroughly dried.
Expert Airbrushing Tips
- Equipment Check: Make sure your airbrush, needle, and compressor are working properly before starting.
- Use the Right Tip Size: A 0.5 mm tip or larger is recommended for consistent flow.
- Do Not Let Paint Sit: Do not leave paint sitting in the airbrush too long without use, as it may begin drying inside the airbrush.
- Keep Bottles Closed: Replace caps after use so the paint does not dry out.
- Thin Only When Needed: Thin slightly with water only if necessary.
- Clean Thoroughly: Clean your airbrush well after each session to maintain smooth performance.
- Test Before Final Application: Always test on the intended surface before full application to confirm the effect and coverage.
