Testing Createx Wicked Colors Quick Silver & Gold Chrome Paints

- Today I test out Createx Wicked Colors Quick Silver and Gold Chrome Paints.
By the name alone I knew the silver wasn't chrome but the gold is actually called chrome. These are easy to spray, no thinning needed just spray them straight out of the bottle. I also add color to the silver to some very good results.

What is really cool is they are made in East Granby Conn!They are really nice people and will anwser the phone with any questions! The Autoborne sealers are REALLY nice too!
Thanks for another terrific video Mr. Rex......I use the Quick Silver a lot. It makes a great base to make your own pearl colors.
I am glad you have started publishing vids not only in the weekend.
W357 Quicksilver - Billet aluminum best applied over a gloss white or black base. For best chrome-like effect, apply over a gloss white base, allow a minimum of 6-hours air dry before top-coating with a gloss clear. W357 same as 4104 Quciksilver. Spray out-of-the-bottle with a 0.3mm tip-size or larger ~ 30 psi.
The scuff pad is called scotch brite they come in 2 grades the grey which is considered their extra fine and redish looking one that is medium roughness.
Another great video Rex, thanks for your thoroughness. God bless
Another excellent vid! I dig the tinted blue over the white!
From the looks of it, mixing a clear or solid of yellow or gold into the Quick Silver might give you a nice gold plating look. I'm building the Daban 1/100 Phenex right now and I have to admit I think I might like the less-reflective, more metal-plating look more which you could probably achieve with the aforementioned mixture.
Great video. It's good to know how the quicksilver stacks up against other paints. It sounds like it's between a chrome and standard metallic. Not quite chrome but still no metal flake. I can see why it's a great base for candy colors.
Man those are nice looking!! I’m a goalie and airbrush goalie masks. I use createx then clear with 2k spray max. I love these colors I want to try!!
Great informative video! I plan on painting one of my fishing reels. You think the 2k clear coat will hold up against exposure to saltwater? If so which one do you recommend?
Here's a 3M chart for you!

I don’t know about the quick silver but I do have the quick silver chrome createx recommends a 1.1.1 mix of the quick silver chrome with any candy2o color and the 4040 bleed checker for metalizers. That was a really nice blue though that you did.
this guy is one of the best
Thank you for your kindness 👍
Great video, as usual. Good you find time and resources to do these tests, so we don't have to! ;) One question regarding your Patriot 105 set up. It seems that you've changed the air cap and the air guard/needle cap, cause it's not the standard ones. Are these from Omni series (which are also made by Badger anyways)? How dos it work? Any improvement over the standard Patriot's air cap?
And.....Merry Christmas !!
Great vid..................................... 👍👍👍
GSW pigments showed up and i thought my metallics were finally sorted. Then you drop the blue silver, your killing me:)
I need that blue color over black for my Nissan Cefiro(A31) kit!
Good video! If you haven't tried it out yet I'd suggest giving Mr. Color GX Clear Gold a look? You airbrush it over gloss black (or white) and it gives you a really nice gold.
I have that line up of paints. I'll do a full test of them soon.
I have a bunch of Createx paints and I really really like them.
I admit, they are not as high quality as my vallejo/tamiya/mr.color/citadel paints.
But whenever I need to paint a large panel without too many tiny details, using Createx with an airbrush works perfectly.
If you like Vallejo I recomend Italeri paints they come from the same factory if there are paints you dont find in the Vallejo range or just in general. You also get more paint for the money with Italeri.
@@statoilbensin2190 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely check them out. I really like using Vallejo, but I do find the Vallejo color range to be very limited (at least compared to citadel). So that might solve the problem :)
@@elirane85 Yes I think it might help you, also you can mix Italeri with Vallejo without any problems, you can use vallejo flow improver in Italeri paint to make it last longer on youre airbrush needle before drying.
great videos. what is the best respirator ?
Which of their paint lines is best for vehicles?
And, which of their coatings would you recommend for an SUV that will operate in a hot, humid climate, and may take occasional off-road jaunts?
I have been doing the spoon practice. I personally found a LOVE for the flat colors, especially Mr. Color flat black #33. I have been learning about the need for primers so it does not come off with minor friction. Lastly, I hope your SprayGunner affiliate link works as with some sponsor links they remain in the URL, I do not know how it all works and hope you get the credit from the stuff I purchased from them.
Spray Gunner has been great. I've been getting credit. Thanks 👍
@@barbatosrex9473 going to return the expensive hobbylobby sparmax tc-501n for a tooty as they are instock, will use your link
@@Zaku-x109 great choice, it's an awesome compressor
is there a new cap on badger 105? I'm trying to find one too
Trying to find a gold that is more of metallic yellow, got any tips?
Scuff pads are usually around 400 grit
I would like to see quicksilver mixed with candy's and transparent colors
The full candy test is coming 👍
Hey, man...so I have a question. I have some USBs that are like plastic cassette tapes that I am selling with my music on them. I want to paint a few of them Gold to sell as "Limited Edition" copies...can you point me in the right direction as to what paint and method would work best for this application? I can message you photos of the Plastic cassettes if need be....
Sure, send pics to triggerfish65@gmail.com
tintas fantásticas .
maybe over a silver base🤔😁🤩😘
Were those blacks primer or just a gloss black paint?
Gloss Black paint
I came from the fine art side of airbrushing then got into models and miniatures. So when I tried Createx I did not like them, still don't. That though is not the paints fault. It does what it is advertised to do and does it well. Its just not for me.
I don't use any glossy colors, everything I do is either matte or satin finish. So for me its almost always acrylics. Though recently I did get some G Paint for my Gunpla and I love that stuff. Its perfect for that application.
I find these product reviews interesting because its great to hear different perspectives on this stuff.
Also would still love to get your perspective on Molotow One4All as a primer.
I'm getting some Molotow for testing soon 👍
You should try once the wicked detail colors, they are matte
Those Krylon clears are hit and miss. The Flat looks ok on straight builds, but i've had it turn out pretty bad pretty easily with a foggy finish.
What would you recommend for a clear coat on these? Would a duplicolor 1k be okay? Thanks for sharing.
It's tough to recommend a clear for colors like this as it always takes away the shiny plated look. Aqua Gloss by Alclad is a good choice.
@Barbatos Rex I'm looking to 3D print and paint an Armorer helmet (from the Mandalorian show). Her helmet is gold with some weathering. However, there are parts that are very shiny, too. I'm thinking of using the createx wicked gold chrome. I saw your video, and it looked like a great color with decent durability. And, you mentioned that it looks good with clear coats. Perhaps this is the route I should take? I also really like your gold chrome technique, but that may not be necessary since the createx may be all that I need. Thoughts?
@@603VIL this Createx Wicked Color is good for resin. I would say it's a good choice. The clear will further protect it
@Barbatos Rex thank you, sir. Seems like it will be a good fit. I'll just need to go slow with light coats from what I'm seeing.
One more question on this. How did you clean the brush with this paint? As always, thanks.
Hi, but do you really used 30 psi ?
It's what the company suggested. But 20 psi is fine. You shouldn't have a problem at that pressure
Are these paints acryllics? Lacquers? What about the toxicity?
Water based acrylic
so you can paint it out of the gun ,?
Yes
Createx is for car painting so it makes sense that there is a larger metal flake. I don’t know what your ere expecting.
