Technical Specifications & Application

Instructions for Professional Results

1. Prepare the surface: Make sure the surface is clean and free of factory residue, wax, oil, dust, or loose material. For leather, plastic, metal, vinyl, or other slick surfaces, light scuffing with a fine-grit pad can improve adhesion.
2. Shake and mix well: Opaque colors can settle in the bottle, so mix thoroughly before spraying to keep the blue coverage even.
3. Test before painting: Spray a small test area first to check flow, opacity, color strength, and surface adhesion.
4. Apply in light coats: Build the blue finish gradually with thin, even passes. Avoid flooding the surface, especially on leather, fabric, or small model details.
5. Use as a strong base color: Apply Opaque Blue as a solid base layer, graphic color, accent tone, or detail color depending on the project.
6. Heat set when needed: For hard surfaces, use low heat carefully to help cure the paint. For fabrics, use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for about 30 seconds.
7. Protect high-wear projects: For sneakers, leather goods, props, and handled items, seal the finished artwork with Jacquard Airbrush Clear Varnish after the paint has fully dried.
8. Clean immediately after use: Flush your airbrush with water or airbrush cleaner while the paint is still wet to prevent buildup inside the nozzle and paint path.

SprayGunner Pro Tips

• For stronger blue coverage: Apply Opaque Blue in thin layers instead of one heavy coat. This helps keep the surface smoother and reduces pooling.
• For clean graphic designs: Use Opaque Blue for solid shapes, lettering, panels, stripes, and base layers where transparent color would not cover enough.
• For custom shades: Mix with Opaque White for lighter blues or baby-blue tones, or with darker colors for deeper navy-style effects.
• For models and props: Use it on panels, armor details, trim, fantasy subjects, scenic elements, and craft parts that need bold blue color.
• For better durability: Use a compatible clear topcoat on high-contact surfaces like sneakers, leather goods, helmets, and props.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Jacquard Opaque Blue transparent?

No. This is an opaque airbrush color, so it provides stronger coverage than transparent blue colors and works better when you need a solid blue finish.

Can I use this paint on sneakers?

Can this be used on models and miniatures?

Yes. Opaque Blue works well for model details, panels, decorative parts, fantasy subjects, props, miniatures, and craft projects where a solid blue finish is needed.

What PSI should I use?

Approximately 40 PSI is recommended, but always test your airbrush, surface, and spray distance before applying the paint to the final project.

Why is a 0.5 mm nozzle recommended?

A 0.5 mm nozzle helps the paint flow more consistently, especially when spraying stronger coverage colors or working on larger surfaces.

Can this paint be used on fabric?

Yes. It can be used on fabric and textile projects. For fabrics, heat setting with a dry iron at the proper fabric temperature helps improve durability.

How should I clean my airbrush after using it?
