How To Thin Createx Airbrush Paints

Can I spray a 2k clear coat on top of these paints?

Is it ok to use the 4013 reducer with createx UVLS clears instead of 4011?

Is 4030 good for small models or is it only recommended for automotive? currently i use 4011 reducer for my paints

Great series. I was spraying AutoBorne sealers (6000 and 6003) , and at 20% 4011, it was still clogging my Patriot 105 and back up Badger 200 brush, both with a .5 needle at 35psi. I had to add a lot more 4011 on the fly to finish. It was still thicker than the usual "2% milk" consistency but then sprayed OK. Is it OK to eyeball it like that? Is the "2% milk" consistency too thin? Any suggestions? Thanks for reading.

Just starting out, painting model cars. What should be used to get paint to dry with gloss finish?

So if I mix too much paint with 4011, I can pour it back in the paint bottle without harming the paint? Thanks for your help.

Sir.. this colour available in India?

Hi sir 🙏🏻

I would love to switch to water based paint, but the learning curve is to much, urethane is so much easier to work with

If anyone can answer this it would be appreciated. When you mix it with 4030, does it dry flat, semi gloss, or gloss? What level of some will it have?

Can these be used on polymer clay!

Can I mix 4030 with createx colors to paint on leather? and how do you recommend doing it and protecting it?

Can I make up a small batch of 4030 and 4011\4012 and use it as needed?
I am talking a small 2oz bottle so small amount.

Hi Chris,
My friend wants bullet holes airbrushed onto his helmet. What should I mix the paint with, so I don’t have to clear the whole helmet afterwards? Thanks

Saying it’ll last for years due to various issues health and other thing I had not picked my airbrush up for at least 15 years and I used my old createx to finish a job and my friends say it looks great and when I tell them the paint is 15 years old they can not believe it so I can vouch for it lasting I am hoping to get right back into it keep up the great work

Does is good to use with shoes custom?

Hi, thank you for this video.
But what is the difference between the 4011 reducer and the 4011 auto-air colors ? Is it the same ?
Can I use the auto-air 4011 with Createx Airbrush paint ? Thank’s in advance for your reply.

Excellent video and very good explanation .. You got me out of many doubts. Thanks for sharing..!

I have a Paasche VL I want to use to paint 1/25 model cars with. Problem is my current compressor will only get me to 27ish psi. With proper reducing will that work with a .3 or .5 tio/needle?

What airbrush?

Thanks Chris, 4030 is the silver bullet IMO. I love that 4030 can be added to the entire line which greatly extends my palette and the usability of my paints, I can now use Createx Airbrush paints, AutoAir, Illustration in the one painting, just using the features and effects from the different lines and economising the use of paints, Illustration for fine detail and the larger bottles of Createx Airbrush for background. In addition, AutoSealers with tints can greatly reduce time, like a blue tint background for doing a seascape I did recently I ended up going stright to the clouds with white and using CandyO2 to intensify the blue to do the Ocean . I also bought some squeeze bottle to store blends which you state have no pot life and it has worked out well, being able to touch up after mistakes with the original blend. I bought a Lab Magnetic Mixer which I find great for blending paints as it thoroughly mixes the paint as I add a drop at a time I can see the hues and color changes

I run a 3 to 1 ratio with wicked opaque in a .35 needle airbrush. 3 parts 4012 reducer to 1 part paint at 18-20psi. Sometimes 4 to 1........ I'll be trying some 4011 next.

If i use this colour for my clay sculpt can bro..?

Can I mix createx paints with 4050 for flexibility instead of 4030?

One question u could use for shirts but whit the same reducer it’s to strong the smell

Awesome!
Thanks for the insight.
Very helpful.
✌😁

What pressure are you using?

Does 4030 react negatively with 4012 (given the alcohol content) or is it just considered "not as good" as 4011?
I've read the other remarks here and appreciate the general difference with 4011 and 4012. I live in Australia so temp is normally in 20-25C winter -> 30-35C Summer. Humidity varies but often moderate.

can you mix the 4011 or a 4012 with 4030 and keep in a bottle to thin your paints as you go?

Chris. Why do you use more 4011 than 4012. Sorry, I still do not understand the difference between those two. Thanks for your help.

EXCELLENT! explanation and demonstration. I greatly appreciate your sharing your knowledge. If one only had 4012 reducer, could that substitute or cause issues? Thanks again.

What's the difference between 4011 and 4012?

Kool vid Chap 👍

Could you point me to a retailer who's stocks this in the U.K...

Can I use it on plastic model cars?

Just to clarify the pot life. If you store your mix that is made up of 4011, 4030 and your paint.. it can be put into another air tight container and it will last for years?
