Well what you described, "droplets", is what I was getting. I freaked out but as you said, flashing it with the hair dryer smoothed it. But my next coats didn't fair so well. I ordered the 4021, more 4030.

So what brand "water souluble" paints do you use Charley?

I did a repaint on the Willy's i'm doing, the pearl gold Createx. I've used this same color paint a couple other times with no issue (maybe lucky I guess). Anyway, I did use the 4011 and 4030 Balancing clear and a few drops of the Liquitex, air dried with the hair dryer. I just couldn't get it to spray good. Maybe I just had the mix formula wrong or it was the 4011. Almost like I was spraying water onto it. I will get the 4021. I actually remember another discussion about the 4021 but I forgot about it. Thanks again for your valuable info.

Thanks Dave. I can count on you to make good suggestions/recommendations. And concerning Createx. I always seem to have issues with when spraying at the beginning it does just fine but when stopping between coats, sometimes as little as 10 minutes the airbrush stops spraying. Also the Createx is liquid in the cup but after a while gets very thick. What ya thing?

Well I do agree there will still be a time that I would have to use lacquer thinner. When I do use Createx I back flush and run lacquer thinner thru it before putting it away.

OK, instead of starting a new thread, I'm adding on another question. I've used craft acrylics, Createx and Mr. Hobby lacquers (that I really like. After today's cleanup of the lacquer and it's mess I said to myself, self, I think i'm done lacquer thinner cleanup. My question....What is the preferred Acrylic paint?? Comments, suggestions really welcome!! ☺️
