Tarrago Sneakers Paint Metallic Colours

How to paint
1. Clean the leather and/or textile with the Sneakers Cleaner or WASC! Super Cleaner using a brush or a cloth. Not necessary if the shoes are brand new.
2. For best painting results, prepare the leather with the Deglazer Leather Preparer, apply it with a polishing cloth, and let it dry.
3. Before painting, stir the content with a paint brush, until an even color is obtained. You may mix various colours to achieve a specific tone.
4. Customise, change the color or repair:
 4.1. Use a sponge to cover larger surfaces. With a semi-wringing paint brush, paint one corner of the sponge and gently rub over with circular moves on the surface.
 4.2. Use a paint brush for small details or customisation.
 4.3. You can use an airbrush, read the instructions before using it. Use the neutral base, to dilute the paint and maintain its properties.

Tips
- The applications must be very light. It is better to apply several thin layers than one single thick layer. Once the first layer of paint has dried (1-3 minutes), apply a second layer if necessary, repeat the process until the desired finish is achieved.
- To accelerate the painting process between layers, use a hair dryer with caution (30 cm. minimum distance).
- Paint first with Neutral Base to strengthen the final finish. Can also be used as finishing product, for further enhancement of the strength of the finish.
- For Metalized, Fluor and Special Effects paints it's recommended to paint a Sneakers Paint White layer fist, to improve the paint coverage and finish.
- For Glitter colors, we recommend painting a previous layer with the same Sneakers Paint Metalized colour for a best finish.
- For optimum drying and a better resistance, let it dry for 12 hours.
- Once the process is finished, wash the sponge and the paint brushes with water or a special product to prevent them from drying out.

Founded in 1940, Tarrago Brands International was born in the cradle of the Spanish textile industry, under the name of “Tarrago Products”. Tarrago Brands started with the vision of offering the best dyes for fabrics, both for industrial and domestic use. Rapidly, Tarrago Brands becomes the reference in dyes for the textile market.

In the 60s, in a context of crisis for the textile industry, Tarrago Brands demonstrated once again its capacity to adapt to the new needs of the market and prioritising innovation, developed the first water-based dye for the leather market. This technological revolution was applauded by the sector, it allowed to change the colour of the leather even from black to white with an unbeatable result and resistance.

Since then Tarrago has developed into one of the lading brands in the world within shoe care and shoe accessories. Unlike most shoe care brands out there Tarrago has its own factory, located north of Barcelona, and develop and manufacture their products on their own. This gives them much better control of the quality of the products, working environment and all sustainability aspects. It also makes them highly agile, new products or improvements to existing ones can be done quickly, following the need from its customers around the world. Tarrago is a sister company to Saphir.
