FAQs

Can this paint be used for screen printing?

While formulated for airbrushing, its pigment density might allow for use in screen printing with appropriate mediums and fabric types. Test on a scrap piece first.

How do I clean dried paint from my airbrush?

Soak affected parts in a dedicated airbrush cleaner or a strong soap and water solution. Use a cleaning brush or needle to gently dislodge dried paint. Avoid abrasive tools that could damage delicate parts.

What is the best surface for this paint?

This paint is versatile and works well on fabric, canvas, paper, wood, plastic, and metal. Results may vary, so testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended.

Does this paint require a sealant?

Once dry, the paint is durable and often does not require a sealant for many applications. For added protection or specific surface requirements (like heavy wear on fabric), a compatible top coat or sealant may be beneficial.

Can I mix this with other Jacquard paints?

Yes, Jacquard Airbrush Colors can typically be mixed with each other to create custom shades. They can also be mixed with other Jacquard acrylics or mediums.

Is this paint permanent?

The paint is designed to be durable and permanent on most surfaces once fully cured. For fabric, heat setting may be required to achieve maximum wash-fastness.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

When stored properly with the cap tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, the paint should maintain its quality for several years. Inspect for separation or unusual thickening before use.

Troubleshooting

Airbrush Clogging

Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed and properly thinned. Clean airbrush components immediately after use. If clogs occur, use an airbrush cleaning solution or a specialized airbrush cleaning needle.

Uneven Spray Pattern

Check air pressure settings on your compressor. Ensure the airbrush needle and nozzle are clean and properly seated. Test paint consistency; it may be too thick.

Paint Drying Too Quickly in Airbrush

Work in a cooler environment if possible. Use an airbrush retarder or flow improver additive. Clean the airbrush more frequently during use.

Color Not Opaque Enough

Ensure the bottle was shaken thoroughly. Apply additional thin coats rather than one thick coat. Consider if the surface is porous and absorbing the pigment excessively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Before use, shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly dispersed. If the paint appears too thick for your airbrush, you may dilute it slightly with Jacquard Airbrush Medium or distilled water. Test the spray consistency on scrap material before starting your project.

Compatibility:

This airbrush color is designed for use with most standard airbrushes. It adheres well to a wide range of surfaces including fabric, canvas, paper, wood, plastic, leather, and metal. For optimal adhesion on certain surfaces, consider pre-treating or priming them.

Care:

  • Airbrush Cleaning: Immediately after each use, flush your airbrush thoroughly with water or an airbrush cleaner. Disassemble and clean the nozzle, needle, and cup according to your airbrush manufacturer's instructions. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.
  • Storage: Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely fastened to prevent drying.
  • Surface Care: Once dry, the paint is durable. However, avoid harsh scrubbing on delicate surfaces. For fabric applications, follow specific fabric care instructions after heat setting, if applicable.
