Been using Createx a bit, I like 'em too. Though my 4030 solidifed in the bottle after a while so make sure that it is sealed properly, or put it in a bag I guess. None of my paints have dried so must have reacted to the air somehow. Anyway. I've noticed you might need to go heavy with the coats to get the same color as in the bottle, especially for the reds and warm yellow. You should look in to their Quicksilver chrome. From what I have seen from other people using it, looks like an amazing chrome for being an acrylic. Been wanting to get it myself but it's not available over here in Sweden for some reason. Have to import it from the UK, which currently means customs fees due to the whole brexit thing so I'll have to wait.

Thank you, very helpful for this rookie!

The creators of mission models paint!

Thanks so much for that information. I’m painting modified polystyrene toys and have been having shit luck, both with the primer (Tamiya Fine Surface Primer) sticking and the Createx adhering to that. I’m cleaning/degreasing the raw surface before priming and scuffing the primer before applying paint and can’t figure out what the problem is. IfCreatex will stick to an ordinary grey spray can primer, I’m gonna give that a go. Thanks again for the advice.

I use Createx regular formula and the Wicked Colors and they're very good, especially for adhesion (tape test) and hardness. For scuffing just use a scotch green scouring pad. You don't have to worry about sand marks, and it's cheaper. I know it's a personal preference, but I've tried the 15 minute setup method and spraying right after the 4012 and the 4030 and to me there is no difference. Maybe because I always dry with an airbrush after. I dunno. I really love the 4030 acrylic polyurethane. I use it with all my acrylic paints. Remember Createx dries semi gloss. From watching numerous videos I believe you can wet sand almost right after it air dries. Good stuff Thanks for another great video.

Thank you for the Createx Wicked Color testing. Seems to work well with 0.5mm tip airbrush and 30 psi and reducing at 7 drops reducer to 20 drops paint. When you test the black and white, can you try shooting with your battery operated Noname airbrush?

I get my facts from being in the body/paint industry 24 plus years. I just want confirmation on the 4012 reducer's drying speed and application in regards to lexan bodies and the 4011 reducer.

@@barbatosrex9473 Primers and surfacers are 2 different animals. A primer is used to etch or prep bare metal or previous coats of paint to accept a coat of paint. A surfacer is a primer used to fill imperfections and has more solids. There are also sealers for use when there is a chance of reaction between the new coat and the old paint. Also thinners and reducers are not the same thing. When you paint enamels or urethanes you use a reducer, and use thinners for lacquers. Both of them would be classified as solvents.
