Createx gives tech info on their website. if you want to use acrylics stick with that until you are comfortable with it. Jumping around to Enamels, and Lacquers isn't hard, its just confusing the Issue. If you use Createx I suggest you get the High Performance Reducer #W-500 it will make your life easier. You can clean up with Windex, or Water. they even make an Airbrush cleaner if you want to buy that. Do not Use Lacquer to clean out the paint after spraying, Because it turns the Createx Paint into a solid very quickly. Unless you enjoy rebuilding Your new Airbrush. What Type of brush did You Buy? Gravity,Siphon, or are you using the color cup?
