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 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 sepia tone gradually with thin, even passes. Avoid flooding the surface, especially on leather, fabric, or small model details.
5. Use for warm depth: Apply Opaque Sepia as a base, shading color, restoration tone, or warm brown accent 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 portrait shading: Use Opaque Sepia in thin layers to build warm shadows, aged skin tones, beard shadows, hair details, and natural brown transitions.
• For leather restoration: Test the color first on a hidden area. Sepia can help create aged brown tones, antique effects, and warm leather accents.
• For models and dioramas: Use it for soil tones, wooden details, worn fabric, old leather, weathered equipment, scenic bases, and vintage effects.
• For smoother detail: If your airbrush setup allows it, thin slightly with water or compatible reducer and test before lowering pressure for fine work.
• For better durability: Use a compatible clear topcoat on high-contact surfaces like sneakers, leather goods, helmets, and props.
