Thank you. I would like to find those Measuring cups

[@CreatexColors]

We found them online. A simple search produces many options. Thank you.

[@marknagle57]

why does the paint not come with 4030 already mixed? (Probably a stupid question!)

[@CreatexColors]

Not a bad question at all. The type of urethane-resin used to make 4030 atomizes better when sprayed soon after mixing with the paint, and more importantly, reducer. Our new Wicked Opaque Colors are made with an acrylic-urethane resin and don't benefit from mixing with 4030 as do our traditional acrylic-resin paints. Thank you.

Thanks for all the informative videos.
If I can add candy2o in 4030 or uvls I was wondering if I could mix it in with urethane clear to create a tinted head lights. Has anyone ever tried?

[@CreatexColors]

4050 UVLS Gloss Clear is the recommended mixing medium for candy2o, which are concentrated dyes, www.candy2o.com. Thank you.

Why wait 12-15 minutes?

[@CreatexColors]

The alcohol in the 4011 Reducer breaks down the water's surface tension, which allows for better flow and improved leveling. Thank you.

[@mikeszczutkowski3066]

​@CreatexColors is it possible to add flow improver and skip waiting 12-15 minutes?

[@CreatexColors]

Wait time for break-down of water-surface tension is recommended by most manufacturers of water-based automotive paints. However, you don't have to wait. This is more of a technique for painters who desire an optimum finish in regards to leveling, however you can skip this step especially if you're in a rush and the leveling and smoothness of the finish (for example automotive or musical instrument refinishing) isn't required. If adding other additives like a flow improver, test extensively first. Thank you.
