The flair colors are awesome! I will be picking some up. I did buy the 4053 and I can't wait to use it! Thanks for all the tips, I loved these videos 😎👍
First I'd like to say great video (as always)! I wanted to say I really liked the vids where you did a candy match to the 'other' brand paints. I an trying to do some 'real fire' Lavallee style and need to match his colors but would like to stay water based. So thanks for those vids! Now to the reason I posted, in my mind I'm seeing you and Mr. Fraser teaming up and you guys do some flames using these as background with some candy highlights or sort of ghost flames. Years ago when they first came out with what they called fiip-flop pearls, I always wanted to do a white flip-flop pearl background with candy flames where the candy would be close match to the flipped colors! Knowing how much encyclopedia painting knowledge you and Craig have I'm sure you guys could create a really fantastic flair + candy paint job. I may just have to give it a go myself. Thanks again for all the great videos!
Congratulations on the new colors, guys! This is all very exciting 😁 Would you consider doing a video comparing the clear coats (4050, 4051, 4052, 4053) and maybe some tips on practical uses? Thank you and thanks for the videos!
We're excited too. We've been working on making a durable, glossy water-based clear for a while and this is a fantastic option for anything other than automotive (cars, bikes motorcycle helmets).
Them are crazy good colors but that clear is what I am. Going to be using on everything that’s a bad ass product and will be used very often by tons of people great job once again
Thank you! We agree about 4053 and were excited to softly introduce it in this video. We plan to use 4053 for all of our non-automotive paint projects in the future.
New Createx shirts, including "Vinny Hot Rod" as well as the Vinny mascot coffee mug are now available through Spray Gunner, spraygunner.com/createx-merchandise/. Thank you.
Thank you. We too are excited about 4053 High Gloss. Its a perfect for anything other than automotive and is very glossy, perfect for bringing out a color's brilliance.
This video covers new Flair Colors. Silver Spectrum, an existing Flair Color, is not featured in this video. Perhaps in the future a video for Silver Spectrum will be made. Until then, it’s color references are available on our website. Thank you. wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes
Hi my name is Daniel I enjoy all your tutorials I'm 68 years old I'm learning how to paint with airbrush on metal I would like to know if there's anything I can top coat the metal with on the project so I can start and stop the next day
We’re unsure as to what process you’re referring to, however, Createx paints do not have a time window and do not need to be scuffed or have inter-coat applied over them when left for a given period of time then painted over. Our top-coats are our UVLS Clears, www.uvlsclears.com. Thank you.
slightly off topic - I am new to airbrushing and I have a quick question. When spraying these flair colors am I supposed to be cleaning out my airbrush in between coats? You recommend 15 minute dry time between the 4 coats but from what I have read, you are supposed to clean the airbrush right after painting? Sorry for the noob/dumb question
Clean the airbrush in-between colors so as to rinse the previous color from the airbrush, 4011 Reducer, 5618 Cleaner and water works well for this. When done painting, thoroughly clean the airbrush using soap & water, and perhaps 4008 Restorer to remove any dried paint that won't come off with hot, soapy water. Thank you.
I've done electric guitar painting with nitrocellulose lacquer, including one with a color shift color layer over black, with a lacquer high gloss top coat. With nitro, level sanding followed up by polishing with successively finer polishing compounds is required to get a factory-type mirror finish. In the color shift products what products would I need to get the same results as with lacquer? Is level sanding and polishing required to get the mirror finish? I thought I heard you say you used a 1.3 mm tip. That's pretty small. Is there any risk of clogging due to the flakes? Also, what kind of sanding sealer would I need to use? I currently use vinyl (lacquer) sealer. What is your equivalent product? Lacquer is relatively inexpensive, and I haven't looked at your pricing, so would using your products be cost-effective for a guitar body? I know over time lacquer can yellow, crack, and shrink. Do your products have the same characteristics. I've asked a lot of questions, but to do a guitar with your products I need to know each step of the process of cradle-to-grave finishing. Enjoyed learning a little about your products. They look very nice.
Createx paints are water-based acrylic and acrylic-urethane paints and coatings, and do not have the yellowing, shrinking and other defective coating properties associated with nitrocellulose lacquers. The best way to understand how to use Createx paints is to start with our Hard Surface Application Guide, available at www.creatextech.com, as well as watch our Hard Surface Basics Video, ua-cam.com/video/CYhmtwp4tnw/v-deo.html, where starting with AutoBorne Sealer, a sandable sealer-primer is covered, www.autoborne.com. Thank you.
Different compared to applying over a black base. Try a test panel with a few different base colors. Try applying W454 Blue/ Violet or W455 Blue / Magenta over W382 Wicked Pearl Electric Blue or W383 Pearl Electric Purple. Thank you.
Yes, so long as 5092 Latex Adhesion Promoter is applied first as the adhesive coating, Wicked Colors can be applied over that. Better yet, in addition to starting with an adhesion coating of 5092, also mix it ~ 10% per volume to the Wicked colors to improve their flexibility a bit. Thin only with 4011 Reducer. Thank you.
I am a devout user of Createx color in my airbrushings...i am wondeirng though...in moving into siicone painting..would Createx have any oil based colors than could be thinned for painting silicone...i mostly paint resin and latex with Createx
Createx makes water-based, water-soluble coatings, not oil based. Silicone is the one substrate we do not have an adhesion system for. For latex, 5092 Latex Adhesion Promoter works excellent. Thank you. createxcolors.com/reducers-additives/speciality-products
No, 4053 High Gloss is a top-coat clear only, similar to 4051 Satin and 4052 Matte. Only 4050 Gloss is to be used as an adhesion promoter, inter-coat clear and carrier-medium for candy2o. Thank you.
When you spray the UVLS High Gloss or Matt, once dry can you wash in soapy water with out it washing off. I paint model horse's and haven't tested it yet. Asking because it's water based.
UVLS Clears are architectural-grade clears suitable for exterior applications which includes repeated, direct exposure to rain and other outdoor elements. For more, please refer to the UVLS Clears tech sheets available at www.creatextech.com. Thank you.
Nice! Mix like Wicked, spray like Candy. TDS done. They have some serious bling. And the 4053 looks great! You could probably get away with using that stuff on helmets..
Thanks! We're excited about new 4053 high gloss Clear. For use on a helmet, think if its given 2 clear sessions, that will bring out the highest gloss level. Dry sanding the first coats of clear 600-800 grit sandpaper dry (then cleaning with a solvent-based degreaser) would work best to create a glossy, smooth finish suitable for a helmet.
Yes, 4053 High Gloss Clear will work well as a a top-coat for guitar refinishing. Best gloss finish will be achieved by applying 2 clear sessions, each 3 coats with dry-sanding with 800-grit sandpaper in between. 4053 will air dry fairly glossy; polish for a super high gloss finish. Thank you.
We've not used Flair Colors over a silver or Quicksilver base yet, but will eventually try. We think it's going to be underwhelming (as were old Gem Chameleon AA Colors over a silver base). We're more excited about mixing Flair Colors with candy2o, and applying that over Quicksilver and Gold Chrome, each of which will have varying values that will effect the final candy finish by applying Quicksilver/ Gold Chrome over either new Wicked W017 Gloss White or W018 Gloss Black. Thank you.
Yes, 4053 can be sanded and polished. We recommend dry sanding with 800-grit, and polish with buffer speed a bit lower (~ 1500 RPM). Its best to wait at least 4 hours air drying at 70 deg. F 50% humidity , or longer, before sanding / polishing. Wet sanding it not recommended, at least not without a few test panels first. UVLS Clears can be "damp-sanded", that is wet sanded without letting water pool on the clear. Wet sanding a water-based clear is akin to using the reducer of a 2k solvent-based clear to wet-sand it after it dries for only 4 hours, not a good idea. 4053 glosses up beautifully, and if applied in 2-sessions, about 3 coats each, its surprisingly durable. Thank you.
I wish you had more model related videos, and examples for application on your channel. Your paint brand looks amazing, and great value.
thanks for watching!
Great demo, thank you! Already ordered a couple colors and some of that 4053, can't wait to paint them.
Thank you!
The flair colors are awesome! I will be picking some up. I did buy the 4053 and I can't wait to use it! Thanks for all the tips, I loved these videos 😎👍

Lookin forward to use the 4053!! Greets from Switzerland
Hello and thanks for watching!
Very cool colors
Thanks!
Congratulations on the new colors, guys! This is all very exciting 😁
Would you consider doing a video comparing the clear coats (4050, 4051, 4052, 4053) and maybe some tips on practical uses?
Thank you and thanks for the videos!
Thanks for watching! A new UVLS video showing both new 4053 and original UVLS Clears will be released next week.
@@CreatexColors Great news, thank you!
Excited to try the new 4053! Been trying to get away from the 2k gloss because of the fumes!
We're excited too. We've been working on making a durable, glossy water-based clear for a while and this is a fantastic option for anything other than automotive (cars, bikes motorcycle helmets).
Im particularly fond of the fuschia gold. As a satin as well is a very unique elegant look. Although most will want to shiney :)
Thanks, and agreed, top-coating with a satin (4051 UVLS Satin Clear) or matte clear also works well.
Them are crazy good colors but that clear is what I am. Going to be using on everything that’s a bad ass product and will be used very often by tons of people great job once again

OMG Please need all of them 🙏🙏
Thanks Steve!
@@CreatexColors so when can I expect this to be available from Coastairbrush
Dealer orders are shipping this week, and will be in stock over the next 2 weeks. Thanks.
That high gloss uvls looks even better than the 2k
Thank you!
Looks awesome and the new clear as well. Just wondering why the Blue/Violet has a much coarser flake in it compared to the other colors.
W454 Flair Blue / Violet's pearl-flake size is larger compared to the other new Flair Colors, making it appear coarser. Thank you.
Hey Chris was showing this video to a friend to show the new colors and I just noticed you have a Createx Coffee mug!!! HOW DO I GET ONE!!!!!
New Createx shirts, including "Vinny Hot Rod" as well as the Vinny mascot coffee mug are now available through Spray Gunner, spraygunner.com/createx-merchandise/. Thank you.
The colours are beautiful, but the 4053 is pretty exciting! Looks like it will take about 70% of what I do away from having to use 2k clear
👌🏻👍🏻
Thank you. We too are excited about 4053 High Gloss. Its a perfect for anything other than automotive and is very glossy, perfect for bringing out a color's brilliance.

@@CreatexColors Thank you!
Does silver spectrum need to be applied over black? Couldn’t find a video of it. I’ve had mixed results with it.
A black base is recommended for Silver Spectrum. Thank you.
What would the effect be if used over a color keyed base? For example the blue/violet over a blue or purple/violent base.
Different compared to applying over a black base. Try a test panel with a few different base colors. Try applying W454 Blue/ Violet or W455 Blue / Magenta over W382 Wicked Pearl Electric Blue or W383 Pearl Electric Purple. Thank you.
What are the sample substrates called? I need some and don’t know what to search for. Haha thanks.
The substrates are plastic discs. Thanks.
Could I use Tim gores blood line ahesion promoter on a latex mask and then use wicked flare colors or the would it not stick because of lack of rubber
Yes, so long as 5092 Latex Adhesion Promoter is applied first as the adhesive coating, Wicked Colors can be applied over that. Better yet, in addition to starting with an adhesion coating of 5092, also mix it ~ 10% per volume to the Wicked colors to improve their flexibility a bit. Thin only with 4011 Reducer. Thank you.

Awesome colours! They look amazing. As always, great video too. So Craig can’t have “fucked shit up” too bad 🤣🤣🤣
Totally! Thanks for watching.
Can the 4053 high gloss be used as a adhesion primer like the 4050? And if so, is it better ?
No, 4053 High Gloss is a top-coat clear only, similar to 4051 Satin and 4052 Matte. Only 4050 Gloss is to be used as an adhesion promoter, inter-coat clear and carrier-medium for candy2o. Thank you.
I was thinking about spraying the blue green over green sealer....Thoughts?
it'll work, as in color-key, but the effect will be rather subtle. try a test panel, could be cool, depends on what you're looking for. thanks
When you spray the UVLS High Gloss or Matt, once dry can you wash in soapy water with out it washing off. I paint model horse's and haven't tested it yet. Asking because it's water based.

Dry sanding the first coats of clear 600-800 grit sandpaper dry (then cleaning with a solvent-based degreaser) would work best to create a glossy, smooth finish suitable for a helmet.
Would the 4053 be suitable for top coating guitars?….Can you level or wet sand it like 2K Urethanes?…
Curious about this as well!
Yes, 4053 High Gloss Clear will work well as a a top-coat for guitar refinishing. Best gloss finish will be achieved by applying 2 clear sessions, each 3 coats with dry-sanding with 800-grit sandpaper in between. 4053 will air dry fairly glossy; polish for a super high gloss finish. Thank you.

Can I use this on t -shirt / cotton ?
Yes, Wicked Colors, including Flair Colors, can be used on t-shirt / fabric. Thank you.
What do you reduce it to to spray through an airbrush?
4011 Reducer, added 10% - 25% per volume. Thank you. createxcolors.com/reducers-additives
Can the 4053 be "sanded"/polished?
I was going to ask the same
I know the 4050 can so it should work for 4053. Haven’t tested though.
Yes, 4053 can be sanded and polished. We recommend dry sanding with 800-grit, and polish with buffer speed a bit lower (~ 1500 RPM). Its best to wait at least 4 hours air drying at 70 deg. F 50% humidity , or longer, before sanding / polishing. Wet sanding it not recommended, at least not without a few test panels first.
