I gotta tell ya, after about 3 years playing with cheap airbrushes, I've been picking up more and more details (mostly doing rc bodies). Coming across your channel was a game changer for me. I still am just a beginner started with basic stencils, but I've been using random clear pieces of lexan and plastic to practice, and I feel like some of your other videos led me down the right path.
When I first started I didn't even know about additives to make it actually stick. A couple decent paint jobs ended up flaking off on the ground. 4050 changed my life. And I wouldn't have even known, if it wasn't for your channel.
Thank you for everything
Ryu, thank you for taking the time to write such a nice co.ment. I am so happy to hear you like my channel and finding the content helpful. Just hit me up if you ever have any questions. Thanks again.
I'm new to create text and I'm enjoying it. I build model cars and trucks, I enjoy using a Creed tax indoors it's a slow order and I get a lot of compliments on my paint jobs in my videos. All the information I get from you and your videos help out immensely. Thank you 😎👍
Thank you, TI. I am glad you like the video and are enjoying the channel. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
Awesome video! Thanks for basically answering all the questions I had about the paints in the video.
I am glad you liked the video, Gordon. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching
This video was very helpful! However, I would have loved a comparison with the Createx textile paints as well.
Mario, I am glad to hear you liked the video. However, I can't speak on the textile paints as I have never used them. It's just not the type of airbrush I do. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Plus information I didn’t even know I needed. Therefore I’m a subscriber. I’m sure that I will get a lot from this channel. Thank you and good luck with your UA-cam endeavors.
IHS, I am glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for subscribing.
Great video very informative. I’ve been thinking about trying the illustration paints.
TD69, the Illustration colors are easy paint to work with as long as they are not used for exterior use. Now I heard from Createx that if you add 4050 clear to it, it is suitable for exterior use, but I have not tried that yet.
One thing is if you premix paints in dropper bottles, its recommended you don't add the uvls clear to it in bottle and mix it outside. Craig Frasier also suggest mix in 4050 and let it sit for about 10mins if you can to emulsify
That is on point, Scotty. Thank you for the comment, and thanks for watching.
And updated illustration guide now says...if you mix 4011 in with illustration let it sit for 10+ minutes so the alcohol can work...andddd 4011 promotes curing so don't add it to a premix bottle but if you did then try and make it as air tight as possible, the water only suggestion is great. Use dionized of course
Your videos are helping me with my creatix paint
I am glad I can help Shea. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
I use Fantastik cleaner cut with tap water 70% water in a spray bottle. This works great for clean up (and thins decently, too) with all my Createx paints. Saves me shit-ton of $.
Tucson, I do not subscribe to the homemade concoctions, but if you like it and it works for you, that's all that matters. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
Brilliant video. Thank you 😊
Thank you Debbie and thanks for watching.
Ok, so, I picked up some wicked white by createx…. Right out of the bottle it was AMAZING! Very little tip dry and ran through my brush like silk. Your information in these videos is priceless. Thank you for sharing your talent with “us”. It is appreciated. 😎🙏🏻
Bubbaa6, it's nice to hear you like the channel and you find it helpful. Thanks for watching.
What size is your nozzle?
@@Dude_Slick I’ve run it through a .15 up to a .5 with great results. Createx paints and thinners are my go to. They just work!
Very good informative video and I've started using just distilled water to thin and it really does thin the paints great and if Dru Blair says it then you don't need anything else. Good to see you're a hockey fan I love it and think it's the only sport on this planet go canucks go.
Mike, thanks for the kind words and yes! Hockey is my favorite sport and really looking forward to the start of the season. Not so sure how my Flyers are going to be this year. I have a saying...all extra projects are on hold...It's hockey season!
@@TheAirbrushGarage yes I always say when training camp starts "I'm busy until June" and wife then puts out a wooden plaque that says this marriage has been interrupted by hockey.
Wow.....never tried just water to thin......Right, compressor on...lets see how it goes. Fantastic information, appreciate it.
Mark, just to be clear....only on the Illustration. Glad you liked the video.
@@TheAirbrushGarage yeah I only have Illustration mate and ALWAYS used 4011 or 4012
I would have never used water either but after talking directly to Dru and seeing the results....welll...I'm a believer! Lol
Not trying to plug another video but the one I did on Airbrush Paint - Cleaning Before Clear Coat - Know Your Paint ua-cam.com/video/sChGxN0kcRU/v-deo.html this really shows how water reacts between the two.
Thank you
Thanks for the explanation on the wicked&the illustration the illustration should spray better. ck,wisc.
Linda, yes, because illustration doesn't dry as hard as wicked, it is a little easier to work with. But once you get the feel for the Wicked, it's not a problem. It really comes down to your application. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
Bonsoir et merci pour ces renseignements très intéressants. Je prendrais maintenant de la peinture créatex.
If u were going to paint soft plastic swim baits would u use wicked paints or a true water based paint like lure works? I realize I would have to dip the swim baits in Clearasol to seal the lure works paint.
Larry, I am not familiar with Lure Works, but Wicked would work. I have many views that use Wicked to paint lures and then yes, of course, clear. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
What's the actual shelf life of Createx paint? I just tested an unopened 8 year old bottle of Createx Transparent and Illustration colors through a brand new Iwata airbrush. It did not end well. This is paint that sat on the shelf, was never opened, never shook up except right before putting in the airbrush, for 8 years.
So I know for a fact its less than 8 years. But I wonder what the actual shelf life is.
CF. I have had paint, sit longer than that, and used it with no issue and I have had paint that sat less than that, and it got thick and clumpy. I have had paint stored in a garage, and when I lived in PA it was exposed to freezing temps and some of the paint went bad and some didn't. So I'm not sure what the answer is, but if you reach out to Createx, they should take care of it. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.
Which one works best for wall painting and which coat works to make it last? Thanks
Gustavo, If you are working inside you can use both Wicked or Illustration and if you are outside then only use the wicked. They both will last without a clearcoat but if you wanted the extra protection of a clearcoat use a 2k for exterior and regular foe interior. Hope this helps and thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
Ordered the 39 color wicked set and couldn’t agree more… the wicked doesn’t spray well out of the bottle like the illustration does. However as you mention they each have their own use and are very high quality paints and well worth the money 👍🏼
Bubba6, thank you for the comment, and thanks for watching.
Hello, I’m new to airbrushing and haven been wondering if you’d recommend thinning createx bloodline colors with distilled water?
Great video by the way. It’s helped me settle on illustration over wicked paints.
Allex, water will work with any of the illustration colors. I still recommend using the 4011 across all the Createx lines of paints. I hope this helps and thanks for watching.
@@TheAirbrushGarage thank you very much for your help.
can i use wicked and 4011 for tank project? after that im gonna use urethne clear coat
Leon, absolutely. Wicked, and the 4011 is what you want to use. And then a 2k clear coat (urethane). Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.
Clear instructions. 5618 for clean, too though?
SNR, 5618 is used more to run through the brush between colors. It is milder than the 4012 or 4011 and it doesn't cut through the wicked very well. I don't use it. I only use the 4011 to reduce and Clean. 4011 is all you need. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
Is there any issue with using them both on one project? Say paining a base with illistrator name the. Some details and touchups with some wicked?
Rouge, I have used both on projects without issue. But only if I needed a certain color that I didn't have. I like to stay with the Wicked for exterior applications and Wicked for Interior. I hope this helps, and thanks for watching.
I'm coming from the HOK urethane world. Some health issues are pushing away from the solvent based products. With House of Color, I could touch the paint almost immediately, and tape on it within a few minutes. Will illustration colors be a huge problem in the areas of dry times and masking?
Dude Slick, I need more info. Are you talking about base coating entire cars or air brushing? It sounds like you are doing projects for exterior applications. What are you airbrushing on? If you are airbrushing on cars, motorcycles, etc. you want to use Createx Wicked line of paints. They are formulated for exterior use. They have the UV resistance and dry much harder than illustration colors. Illustration colors are for interior use and easy manipulation of the paint like for erasing or scratching techniques. As far as dry time, it is very fast. I think the Specs recommend 15 minutes to an hour before taping depending how heavy you put it on. As long as your surface is prepped properly and you use medium to low tac tape you should have no problem. Hope this helps.
@@TheAirbrushGarage Thanks for the reply. So I left a custom chopper shop for health issues and after a few years, I just need to paint. So I'm launching a YT channel. I'll be doing fantasy art on hard surface panels, computer cases, guitars, and who knows what else. Right after I asked you this question, I learned that Wicked Detail Colors are kind of right in the middle between Wicked & Illustration, So I just ordered the full set.
Dude, good to hear. You won't be disappointed. Any of the Wicked Colors detail or not are designed for hard surfaces. Let me know when you have your channel up and running I will subscribe.
@@TheAirbrushGarage Never had this much trouble getting paint to spray. I hate this stuff so far. I did get 4012 instead of 4011 and now I hear bad things about it, but it should at least be consistent, right?
@@Dude_Slick Ok. so you have the Wicked. Start with a 1 to 1 mix. Mix it and let it sit for a few minutes Createx recommends 10 minutes but I never wait that long unless I'm mixing candies. The 4012 should be fine but they stopped producing that awhile ago so its been sitting around a long time. I would get the 4011. Let me know if it made a difference.
Very informative..i do like the createx line of products .on another note.Did you watch the rookie game today Flyers won 5-1
lol. No I didn't see that. But I am pumped for Hockey Season! It is my favorite spot.
Our Flyboys are officially undefeated,haha. Next pre is Saturday @7
How do you mix wicked and 4011 and 4050 to paint model cars
Jerry, If you are mixing small amounts for spraying through an air brush the mix ratio is 10 to 20 percent 4011 and 1 to 2 drops of the 4050 to 6 drops of Wicked. Hope this helps.
@@TheAirbrushGarage thank you it helps a lot I usually put together 1/24 and 1/25 scale model cars and trucks how far will that ratio you gave me cover sorry I’m new to airbrushing thanks agian
@@jerrycarnesjr6440 I would start with 12 drops of paint 2 drops od 4050 and about 4 drops of reducer. Mix let sit for about 10 min. Mix again and spray. Gauge coverage from there.
createx....the best marketed paint...and the worst to paint with....illustration is ok out of the bottle with 0.5...but still garbage with anything smaller
SM, what paint do you think is the best?
@@TheAirbrushGarage there is no "best" but there is better
Odd I have little to know issues Even With my microns hmm
Did you get a bad batch? I spray illustration with Creos ps270, badger krome, creos ps771(0.18mm), harder and steenbeck 0.2mm etc.
How are you reducing it? What airbrush are you using?
Vallejo is my most hated, price per ml is nuts.
You might wanna listen to/reach out to ThinAirGraFx....he knows a LOT about airbrushing
