Createx Airbrush colours

[Guest Markus355]

Has anyone used them here? I just picked up a bottle of Pearl green and transparent sunrise yellow for some projects, have a few questions

They able to be sprayed over testors or tamiya bases?

what to use to thin?

what psi?

Can i use a lacquer based clear over them?

They are a water base paint so they can be sprayed over any base. For thinning you will find you do not have to thin the transparent colors as they are thin as it is. Shoot them between 10 to 15 psi. For clear you will not get the true affect of there colors with out going to a urethane clear.. The normal createx paints are more for doing shirts and other little hobbie stuff then model cars. The Auto Air (own by createx) is more made for doing on real cars and doing air brushing detail for 1:1 cars. This stuff would be more for doing what we do.

chas is correct about createx paints. you can use lacquer clear over them without a problem. give them a day to dry all the way out before clearing.

The Auto Air 1:1 auto paints will work.....but DO NOT....unless you want to relearn everything you know about painting. 1. 50psi min....and higher. 2. Heat Gun or Lamps to "flash" the paint and so on. I have the Auto Air DVD and it does look great in the end. I will stick to lacquers and my respirator :lol:

You also need to use urethane or lacquer clears.....so much for no VOCs........
