  • Jackson's Acrylic Primer (1L Pouch): Jackson's Acrylic Primer (1L Pouch)
    R1,290 Discovery Miles 12 900 Ships in 7 - 14 working days

    Pouches are the green way to buy your Jackson's Acrylic Primer. Purchasing a primer in a pouch means less wasteful packaging that can harm the environment. These light bags are also great for easy lifting and pouring. The clear packaging tells you instantly how much primer you have left.

    Space saving bags such as these, are excellent for both transportation and storage. The ability to squeeze the air out of your primer pouch for storage between uses, reduces the dried up edges that can crumble in and contaminate the rest of your gesso. Imagine no more dried up lumps in your primer!

    A primer of high opacity and an intense white. Suitable for most surfaces including canvas, wood, board, etc. Very flexible and ready for use undiluted. Dries quickly with a matt, slightly textured surface. Suitable for acrylic and oil paintings. No sizing required.

    R469 Discovery Miles 4 690 Ships in 7 - 14 working days

    On some of these surfaces it is recommended a basecoat of the Polyurethane Primer (62.601) for best results. Premium colours are flexible and exceptionally durable and permit prolonged exposure to weather without fading or losing their brilliance.

    Premium colours have been formulated with micronized, permanent pigments and an extremely resistant, exterior grade hybrid resin-polyurethane base, which withstands impacts, resists chipping and cracking, as well as direct exposure to heat and outdoor elements without cracking or fading, and is fuel residue proof up to a least 35% Nitro.

    AV Premium colours have superior flow, they are self-levelling and brush on with exceptional ease. For
    airbrushing, the colours can be used directly from the bottle when using a nozzle size 0,3. For the metallic colours some dilution might be necessary, and for smaller nozzles (O.2mm or less) the use of the Reducer (62.068) may be required. The recommended compressor setting is 30-60psi (2-4 bar).

    The range consists of 20 bright opaque colours, 23 dazzling metallics and fluorescents, and 9 shimmering transparent Candy Colours. All colours are as suitable for detail work as for covering large surfaces and can be applied by brush as well as by airbrush.

    The range is complete with 8 auxiliary products including the Transparent Basecoat and the Reducer, Primer, Varnishes and Drying Retarder. For an automotive refinishing and as an extra protective final coating, we recommend a catalyzed urethane clear varnish (spray can or airbrush).
