Choosing your shade of red acrylic paint is the most fun part of the customization process. To help you select the perfect hue for your design, you can explore the range of colors, from bold primaries to specialty effects.

A good finish starts with simple steps that help the paint bond to the surface. These tips make your red acrylic paint smoother and longer-lasting.

1. Prepare the surface by cleaning and deglazing it to ensure the paint adheres to the material. A quick spot test helps you see how the red sits on your specific leather before you begin.

2. Apply thin coats, as they dry faster and have a smoother appearance. Allow each layer to dry fully so the color builds evenly without streaks.

3. If you use an airbrush, mix the paint with a 2-Thin Paint Thinner at a 1:4 ratio to help the paint flow smoothly across the surface. This reduces clogs and gives you a finer spray pattern.

4. Seal the work with Acrylic Finisher to protect the color and add your choice of sheen. Choose from matte, satin, gloss, or high-gloss finishes to control how bright your red appears.

5. For stronger scratch resistance, use 4 Coat Urethane in flat, matte, satin, or high gloss. This keeps the finish steady during regular flex and helps your red acrylic paint maintain its integrity over time.

Simple habits help your red acrylic paint stay smooth and bright through regular wear. These steps keep the finish looking clean and protect the work you put in.

• Clean gently with mild products to preserve the surface's integrity and maintain its color.

• Reapply Acrylic Finisher or 4 Coat when the sheen starts to fade or the surface feels less protected.

• Allow the paint to cure fully before subjecting it to heavy flex or daily wear, so the finish remains strong.
