Finally found “straight to the point”information. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great information! This is what I've been telling my viewers for a while. Having more transparent transparents, and more opaque opaques makes me happy 👌
Thank you Dale!
Thanks Chris. As I watch your videos, this question was always in the back of my mind. Awesome info!
Thanks for watching!
So well explained, great job Chris.
Thanks Terry !!
Hi I'm in the UK and fairly new to airbrushing,Thanks for that info,hopefully this will help immensely with the problems I've been having 👏👏

Thank you for watching!
Hi Chris, thanks again for your very useful video ! Kind regards
Thank you!
thank you so much helped me in a decision on a set of airbrush colors
Excellent, thank you for letting us know this video was helpful.
Thank you. Answered a few questions I had.
Great, thanks for watching!
I have all three series of paint but with my automotive fine art I love the illustration colors.
Thx!! Love your product!!
Thank you!
Great videos thanks for sharing
Welcome, thanks for watching.
Hello Chris, I just repainted my fibreglass bodied Motorhome with an automotive paint ( no clear coat yet ) I was wondering what you would recommend I use to add some ghost flames and such on top of the new paint and what would you finish the whole thing with as far as a clearcoat that isn't glossy as the fibreglass is very bumpy and rough.
Thanks for your time
Great video Chris - really helpful thanks. 2 Questions: 1) Is there a 'shelf-life' of your Wicked paints once the seal is broken on a fresh bottle? 2) What's the min ambient air temp for spraying out of the bottle without reduction - and would reduction help in lower temps? Cheers.
Createx paints can last several years after opening provided they're capped air-tight unless pouring paint from the bottle, and stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct light. We set our drying times at 70 deg.F and do not recommend painting in temperatures less than 60 deg.F. Thank you.
Im sold! Going to paint my model cars with this paint
Thank you
Chris, great video, watched it a few times to make sure I've retained the info! Thanks for that! I do have a question, following your advice to me in a comment, I have bought some of the New Wicked Opaque Colors and I love them. I'm painting on heavy card stock paper from an art supply house and I've had great results using Createx paints on that material. But I am doing a painting and I wanted the background to be a gloss black, I painted the background gloss black first to allow my painting to 'stand out' from the background and I'm happy with the results so far, but I have some overspray on the black and intend to do another light coat to fix that issue. Question I have is, do I need to scuff the gloss black (it's several days since applied) to re-coat or can I just apply another coat without scuffing. Thanks for your excellent video's on the Createx line of paints, they are much appreciated!
Hello. Scuffing is generally not required when applying Createx paints over one another. Don't scuff, but allow for extended drying time. If in doubt, another method would be to first apply a coat of AutoBorne 6000 Transparent Sealer to "lock in" the paint underneath, and provide a well-adhered ground-coat over which any Createx paint can be applied without having to scuff. thank you. www.autoborne.com.
@@CreatexColors Thanks, that answered my question. All I use is Createx and have always had great success with them, but the gloss paints sort of threw me. I love the gloss paints, great coverage great color and easy to use. But being so glossy I was afraid the paints applied over it would not adhere properly. Thanks again for clearing this up for me and saving me a lot of work lost!
I'm confused about what line to choose for model kits (small tip and low pressure), since Airbrush, Wicked and Illustration all have opaque paints. Wicked has better adhesion to plastics, but Illustration is better suited for smaller tips and lower pressures? Or should I just go for the standard Createx Airbrush opaques and thin them down for the small tip?
If I used a primer, what would you recommend? And does Createx offer a primer that preserves fine detail of a scale model? (Because from my understanding, the AutoBorne Sealers are intended to fill in the gaps in order to get a smoother surface, and the Neutral Grays are transparent, so neither can be used as a primer for model kits.)
Thanks in advance for your answer. :)
Try Wicked Colors, and for optimum adhesion add ~ 10% - 20% 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear to the paint. Also, AutoBorne Sealer is an excellent ground coat with excellent adhesion direct to plastic, www.autoborne.com. Thank you.
I love this paint easy to use hooked on your product
Thank you!
Hey Chris! Great informative vid man. Reducer question if you could please... got my start buying from LHS here in SE MI that didn’t have any 4011 but did have the older 4012. I’ll be doing artwork for fun and rc bodies hopefully for supplemental income. Can the 4012 still hold up to the 4011’s performance? Or is it advisable to scrap the 4012 and just order 4011? I’ll make the switch once the 4012 is gone if the 4012 is still a viable option???
Thanks so much for the info! Greatly appreciated!
Jimmy
Beginning in 2002, we started recommending 4011 Reducer as our goto thinner due to better performance, especially with our candy2o and urethane-resin products such as 4030 Balancing Clear and UVLS Clears, and due to changes in toxicology regulations. 4012 Reducer can be made to work like 4011 Reducer by mixing it 1:1 with distilled (bottled) water, so definitely use up the 4012 you have. After, switching to 4011 Reducer is recommended. Thank you.
the 4050, you just mix with the paint or you spray a light coat after you spray the paint?
Perfect! Should I use any automotive binders when spraying Createx Airbrush colors on Terraslate synthetic paper?
4050 UVLS Gloss Clear is an excellent adhesive coating, as is AutoBorne 6000 Transparent Sealer. Either of these could be first applied, followed by paint. Test adhesion first before the actual paintjob. Thank you. autoborne.com/adhesive-clears
Great video!
Which type would you recommend for model rockets? As their bodies are cardboard and just some plastic?
Thanks in advance!
AutoBorne Sealer for the base, www.autoborne.com. For more, please see our hard-surface guide available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.
great stuff as a newbie to airbrushing these new vids are a godsend, Is there a basic instructions for candy02 as I just got some to try as the finish is fantastic?
Please refer to the candy2o tech data sheet, available at www.candy2o.com and www.creatextech.com. There's also a few candy2o mix videos and several videos showing how-to spray candy2o on our RUclips channel. Thank you.
Make sure you add 4030 or 4050 to your candies.
LOVE THE VIDEO "YET" STILL CONFUSED A LIL... CAN I USE WICKED FOR PAINTING ON TSHIRTS, STRAIGHT FROM THE BOTTLE?!?
Wicked Colors are multi-surface airbrush paints suitable for a wide range of applications including fabric and cotton t-shirts, and blended t-shirts. For more, please refer to the Wicked Colors tech sheet available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.
This is great thanks Chris!
Which paints would you recommend for artworks on canvas and wood panel?
Wicked colors is our line of airbrush paint made for everything. Wicked Colors is our largest line of colors, and is made with a durable, exterior-grade acrylic-resin and lightfast pigments. For wood, try adding 4030 Balancing Clear 10% per volume to Wicked Colors for incredible flow, adhesion and leveling. Thank you. createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/mixing-clears
@@CreatexColors THANKS!!
Which line should I use to paint fishing lure on top of chrome base and at what psi? Thank you
Wicked Colors, for recommended psi and how-to mix, please refer to the wicked Colors tech data sheet (TDS), wickedairbrushcolors.com/. Thank you.
Am I able to use the wicked color on a polish steel without scruffing and then seal it with uvls clear 4051 Satin?
Start with an adhesive ground-coat of 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, and allow it adequate time for adhesion prior to paint. As it is polished and not scuffed, we recommend a full 48-hour cure before paint. Thank you.
I love Createx!! But please,please bring back the Sparklescent line.I can find a few color's still out there but not all of them. I use them on a lot of different project's,from painting model's to canvas as they are perfect for many insect's.
Sparklescent Colors will be brought back in the near future, more like their original version with color-shifting pearls. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors Thank you for your response. I am really excited about this
Question with the wicked airbrush paints can you use them on sneakers I love the pearl and metallic paints
Wicked Colors mixed with 4050 UVLS Gloss is Createx' s best paint mix for sneaker and leather painting, www.uvlsclears.com. Mix 4050 Gloss Clear ~ 20% per volume to Wicked Colors, and thin 10% -20% per volume with 4011 Reducer. For added durability and adhesion, start with an adhesion coating or two of 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear onto the sneaker, allow it to thoroughly dry, then apply Wicked + 4050 mix. For a finishing top-coat, apply any UVLS Clear. Thank you.
Very interested in your products. I am repainting the VW bus shown on my profile picture. The colors are medium gloss now. I would like to have the same colors but with a little candy or flakes. Do you have anything for thoese colors? Thanks, love the channel, a lot of great info
For candy colors, please see our line of candy2o, www.candy2o.com. For pearl-flakes, Wicked Colors has a wide range of pearls and metallic colors, wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes. thank you.
Once mixed with additives, can the mixed left over paint be stored and reused like paint straight out of a original bottle? Say can I premix Wicked with 4030, and rebottle it for use later, so I dont have to play around with mixing, when actually painting?
We only recommend reducing paint intended for use within about 48-hours. If well capped, pre-mixed and reduced paint can last a few weeks before a change in sprayable viscosity occurs. Paint mixed with 4030 or 4050 sprays best within the first 48-hours. For more on this, please refer to the paint's technical data sheet available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.
Really nice video . I hope you help me with this question because I want to invest in new and professional materials .
Witch is the best for paint latex masks ?? ( veins ) skin tone details.. x , Having the idea that the latex is a flex material ,
Should I add a thinner if I want to paint something translucent?
And which is the best for paint pu foam props ? Or polyurethane rigid foam?? Thank you very much.
For latex, start with 5092 Flexible Adhesion Promoter, autoborne.com/adhesive-clears. We made a 4-part how-to paint a latex mask video you may find helpful, thank you. autoborne.com/adhesive-clears
Also, what product is best for portrait work? Can they be used when airbrushing the clothes the subject is wearing?
Wicked Colors, including the artist palette of Wicked Detail Colors work best for portraits onto wearable t-shirts. Thank you. wickedairbrushcolors.com/detail-colors
Which transparent paint is best to spray over black and white photographs?
Wicked Colors W001 White and W002 Black, wickedairbrushcolors.com/. Thank you.
Carissimaaaaaaaaaa muito a quem da realidade do Brasil......
Wicked colors on textile, do they need 4030 or 4050 (+reducer) added or straight out of the bottle can get enough adhesion to the textile piece?
Onto textile, Wicked Colors can be sprayed direct from the bottle, or thinned ~ 10% per volume with 4011 Reducer. For leather, mixing 4050 UVLS Gloss ~ 20% per volume with Wicked Colors works excellent. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors thanks a lot! I tested yesterday Wicked+4030 and looks good! But still I have to iron n wash it, to see the final result. Anyway I'll follow your recommendations. I'll do some leather with 4050. Thanks for your quick answer! It gives me a lot of confidence on Createx!!!!
I get asked alot by folks who want paint for clothes and sneakers. So with Wicked name absorbing the primary line will it have similar softness to the original or more like wicked ?
Also you mention how all these paint lineups are compatible. I take that to mean I can not only layer them but I can mix needed colors across the lineup correct ? (Ive done it alot but want to be sure it's not something with potential issues)
Wicked Colors are made with an acrylic resin that air dries to a durable, non-soluble coating suitable for outdoor / exterior application . While Wicked works well for textile, t-shirt, Createx Airbrush colors are made with a softer resin that leaves a "soft-hand feel". For leather and sneakers, Wicked Colors mixed with our 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear works well. Thank you. createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/mixing-clears
Can you use the standard createx paint on hard surface like sign bored, as I have them. didn't realise at the time when I bought them I would be changing from canvas? Or should I just buy new paint ?
When mixed with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, or 4030 Balancing Clear, Createx Airbrush Colors work excellent for hard-surface. Mix 4050 / 4030 10% per volume for airbrushing, 20% per volume for spray-gun application, and thin as needed with 4011 Reducer. Its best to start with AutoBorne Sealer, followed by paint. Thank you. createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/mixing-clears
Do you need to add 5030 to Wicked paints to convert them into acrylic polyurethane like the regular Createx paints so they can be sprayed on plastic models?
Yes, to make Wicked Colors an acrylic-urethane resin paint, mix with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear or 4030 Balancing Clear, the original Createx urethane mixing clear, createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/mixing-clears. This is for all Wicked Colors except new Wicked Opaque Colors, which are made with an acrylic-urethane resin, wickedairbrushcolors.com/opaque. Thank you.
Question. What paint is exactly for me really need help brotha. I'm getting into painting fishing spoons. Now do I sand them down first or is this paint ready to go.?? What type is best for me cuz I only wanna buy your paint. Only the best for me bro. Thanks
Please review our hard-surface application guide. Thank you. creatextech.com/assets/html/pages/hard-surface-and-automotive-guide.html
Which paint line would you use for airbrushing nail designs?
Wicked Colors works well for airbrushing fingernails. Adding a little 4050 UVLS Gloss to the paint will improve adhesion and scratch resistance. Thank you. wickedairbrushcolors.com/
Thank you Chris. Love your videos!
But why didn’t you talk about the new 4013 reducer too? 😜👍🏼
4011 Reducer is what we use to thin all Createx paints. While 4013 Reducer is an option, we don't use it; its more for compliance in CA and artists that wish to thin with an isopropyl alcohol based reducer (sometimes thinning comes down to subjective preferences). We focus on 4011 Reducer as we find it works best. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors so 4012 is discontinued? Had bad stuff in it :(
How transparent are the wicked colours? Will they still have enough coverage and colour on an RC body if I back with a silver or opaque white or black
standard Wicked Colors are highly pigmented, translucent colors that cover semi-opaque with a little reduction. For coverage, use Wicked Opaque Colors. Than you. wickedairbrushcolors.com/
I have a doubt about how to cure the painting properly tshirts, in its technical data sheet Final curing: 48 hours Use the movement of air to help dry. Do not use heat to force the paint to dry. Using heat to speed up drying can create a "latex-like" film that lacks adhesion but I see that many immediately apply heat, which is what you recommend? heat or wind?
When painting t-shirts, allow the paint to air dry, then cure with heat using a shirt press, clothing iron (with protective cloth between paint & iron) or hair dryer. With the press and iron, set at 350 deg.F. / high temperature, and set for 20 - 25 seconds. With a hair dryer, run air until paint is warm to the touch. this process is for textiles, not "hard surfaces" such as plastic, metal or primer, in which case refer to the Hard-Surface Application Guide available at www.creatextech.com. Allow Createx paints to air dry for hard surface painting, not heat setting as is done for t-shirts. Thank you.
Question. This may sound like stupid question, can I buy transparent primary colors, blue, yellow and red and mix them to make different colors and have still be transparent?
Yes, all Illustration Colors are transparent (technically translucent), and when mixed will remain transparent. Of course, mixing a good covering Illustration Colors, such as White or Cobalt Blue will increase coverage when mixed, for example, with Yellow. Thank you.
I have some old 4002 sealer dark....can you tell me what I can top coat it with, or maybe a teck sheet? I wanted to spray a urethanes base over it ? cant seem to find any info any more ,it's all the auto borne sealers now
4002 Sealer Dark was discontinued in 2015. This produce is not a substitute for AutoBorne 6002 Sealer Black. Use 4002 Sealer Black as a dark-grey airbrush color as the AutoBorne Sealers which replaced them have much better adhesion and durability for use as a primer-sealer ground coat. Thank you. www.autoborne.com.
so I do distressing for costumes. been using movie magic spray paint because its designed to be extremely translucent for more reliastiv look. I have 2 low end paint brushes and 2 compressors with 30 and 20 working psi. I was told o use creates for airbrushing. which of these 3 do I actually need?

Can one of your lines of paints be used on plastic fishing baits?
Yes. Best option is to start with AutoBorne Sealer, then apply Wicked colors which are mixed 10% per volume with either 4030 Balancing clear or 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear. Thank you. createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/mixing-clears
I have a question for painting fishing rod with createx line of paints. Will the paints stay on the rods when the poles bend like they do. Will any of the clears work as well on fishing rods. Thanks for any help.
Yes, Createx Airbrush Colors and Wicked Colors can be used for a durable finish on a flexible, fishing rod. 1) Start with 6000 AutoBorne Transparent Sealer, or 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, 2) apply Wicked Colors / Createx airbrush Colors. Mix all colors with 4030 Balancing Clear or 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear 10% per volume, then thin 10% - 25% with 4011 Reducer, createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/mixing-clears. After colors have thoroughly dried, top-coat with a catalyzed (2k) urethane or epoxy clear. For more, please refer to the Hard-Surface Application Guide and tech sheets at www.creatextech.com.

@@CreatexColors Thank you very much for the info. I will place my or today. Thanks again.
Which would be the best choice for a nail tech wicked or illustration? I use an iwata neo cn with a 0.35. Or would either work?
Wicked Colors work excellent for nail painting. For best results, try adding a little 4050 IVLS Gloss Clear to the paint. Thank you.
@@CreatexColors awesome thank you so much! I had my fingers crossed for the wicked line I want all the colors 🤣
I've used the Createx line on shirts and clothing, leather, wood, plastic models, scenery for dioramas, motorcycles, helmets and I love it. 4011 reducer all the way. I want to do more experimenting with the clears, it's much harder to find a 'do everything' clear. Excited to try the candies and the UVLS line

Hi,just going to purchase some of your paint but could you tell me the difference between the detail and illustration brand,thanks
Both are acrylic colors, the difference is minute in the the Illustration Colors resin is softer for easier erasing, and slightly better atomization at lower psi settings with less reduction. Wicked Detail and Illustration Colors are fairly similar. Thanks.

We've many video on using candy2o (please see our RUclips channel's Playlists) as well as a how-to mix candy2o video. We do have more planned. The reason why candy2o was not included in this video is a) they're dyes, not pigments as these colors, which b) makes them difficult to use, especially for painters new to Createx paints, many of whom will watch this video. We love candy2o, and how-it works with all Createx paints. We'll try to make a few of those this year. Thank you.
