Jacquard Airbrush Color Metallic Red 1/2 Oz

Premium Metallic Red Airbrush Paint for Sneakers, Leather, and Craft

Add a bold, shimmering metallic red finish to your custom projects with a professional-grade fluid acrylic. Jacquard Metallic Red is specifically engineered for high-performance adhesion and a brilliant reflective effect. Available at SprayGunner, this water-based paint is a staple for sneaker customizers and multi-surface artists who require a finish that won't crack or peel on flexible materials like leather, vinyl, and rubber.

Originally formulated for high-end textiles, this Metallic Red delivers strong coverage and a deep, light-catching sheen. On fabric, it remains incredibly soft to the touch and becomes completely washfast once heat-set, making it ideal for custom apparel and upholstery.

Why Choose Jacquard Metallic Red?

• Shimmering Metallic Effect: Provides a professional, light-reflective red finish that adds dimension to any design.
• Optimized for Flow: Formulated for smooth spraying directly from the bottle with reduced tip-dry and clogging.
• Unmatched Versatility: Permanently bonds to properly prepared surfaces including wood, clay, paper, plastic, and metal.
• Safe for Indoor Studios: Odorless, non-toxic, and water-based—perfect for professional and home studio use.

Technical Specifications & Application

For high-quality results with Jacquard Metallic Red, follow these SprayGunner technical guidelines:

Instructions for Professional Results

1. Surface Preparation: Thoroughly clean the surface to remove factory waxes, oils, or conditioners. For hard plastics and metals, a light scuff with a fine-grit sanding pad or a primer is recommended for maximum grip.
2. Application: Apply in light, thin passes. Building the color in layers ensures a more uniform metallic distribution and prevents pooling.
3. Heat Setting:
   • Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun on low to help cure the paint and lock in the metallic pigments.
   • Fabrics: Use a dry iron on the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
4. Durability Boost: For high-wear items like footwear, finish with a topcoat of Jacquard Airbrush Clear Varnish after the paint has fully dried.

Expert Airbrushing Tips

• Nozzle Selection: Metallic paints contain tiny flakes to create their shimmer. Using a 0.5 mm tip or larger ensures these particles pass through smoothly without clogging.
• Equipment Maintenance: Never let metallic paint sit idle in your airbrush bowl. Flush the system thoroughly immediately after use to prevent pigment buildup on the needle.
• Base Color Dynamics: For an extra deep "Candy Red" look, try spraying Metallic Red over a black base. For a bright, fiery finish, use a white or silver base.
• Storage: Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use to maintain the proper viscosity of the fluid acrylic.
