[@RCBOSS1969]

Awesome video, thank you!

Glad you liked it!

[@jeffbyrd2803]

Thanks brother for your knowledge. I'm a taxidermist. Avid fisherman. So I decided to learn how to paint lure blanks. Been researching for few months n watching lots of videos. I had already decided createx was my choice of paint. Now I see I can get everything I need in the wicked. .. I will master this before the candy 2o.. u gave me some good information. Hopefully I can learn more from you in the future. ..

[@dancuccurullo8453]

Jeff, that's awsome. Welcome to airbrushing. I fish as well and have great appreciation for a good looking lure. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

[@andyfewster456]

Been airbrushing for 6 months now and always learning new things,Great information thanks 👍

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Andy, thank you and thanks for watching.

[@blownmouse]

Great information. I have recently switched to createx. Thank you for sharing.

[@MatteLson66]

Nice walkthrough! Love Createx. I use regular Wicked and Candy 2o almost exclusively. The best thing is that they moved the AutoAir line into the Wicked brand.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Mattias, I a m glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

[@markblaz3916]

Just getting into airbrushing. Appreciate all the info in your videos. So much to learn whew

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Mark, it's a process. Learning the basics isn't all that much fun but well worth it. When I first started, I wanted to skip right to painting a really cool painting. That's why I quit twice. In my third attempt, I decided to start at the beginning and learn the basics. Just take it one step at a time, and you will get there. Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Jparry, I agree. I believe the 4012 is from older sets. It is still a good reducer, it contains Acetone, I think that's one of the reasons the y are getting away from it. The other is it doesn't mix well with the 4030 but there is no reason to use the 4030 since the UVLS clears came out. It mixes well with all there paints. If Createx is hard to get in Singapore, what paint do most airbrusher's use?

[@bubba6richards729]

So I’m thinking about buying the candy set. What else would it really be used for besides real flames.? I do agree. Createx has amazing products.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Bubba6, I use it on a lot of different projects. I am currently doing a video on a crystallized effective, and candy goes over that. I also love doing skulls and candy ingredients over them. Great for Ghost flames. Or just beautiful to build about 3 to 5 coats or more over a silver or gold metallic. You get a deep, beautiful color, and when you clear it, wow! I can keep going. Lol

[@bubba6richards729]

SOLD! Thanks for a solid reply and not a one liner 👍🏼👍🏼. You and a few others channels have re ignited my passion to airbrush. I shouldn’t have let 20 years slip by. Oh well better late than never 😎🔥

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

@@bubba6richards729 I took 5 years off at one time as well. Life gets in the way sometimes. Lol

[@danconley523]

Great videos with lots of info. Keep up the good work. Use to get Airbrush Action mag. Do you know what happened there? Thank You

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Dan, first, thanks. I think it went all digital. I am guessing paper back was to expensive to produce. I read Airbrush The Magazine and Airbrush Step by Step on my Magster digital magazine app. It cost 50 a year and you have access to over 5000 magazines. It is way cheaper to get the digital versions this way. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.

[@juliehattis]

Have you got ahold of the new 4053 high gloss they make? I just found out about it on one of there newest video's. Looks awesome!

[@dancuccurullo8453]

Julie, I have not. I will be getting it soon. I have seen videos on it as well and ot looks really good. Thanks for the question.

[@hopalstudiosjuliehattis]

@@dancuccurullo8453 your welcome

[@chatomelenaify]

great information...question what can you do when your white cloggs the most than any other color, specially is the paint has been sitting in the bottle for a while,,,

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Leonardo, shake it very well and thin it 50 percent with 4011 in your airbrush cup not the bottle. Thin as much as 75 percent if needed. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@mikescustomspeedshop171]

I opened one of my wicked 2 oz the paint was drying out what can I use to bring it back with out using reducers It’s one that I never used and is a few years old

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Mike, that's a tough one. I never had to do that. If it was illustration I would say a little water. But with Wicked I would use the 4011 reducer. For the price and convince I would just order a new one. You will have it in a day or two. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

[@charlesfavano7424]

i am having an issue what to do if to thin my paint it does not to be to seen to be spraying corectly? the thinner the paint the lower the pressure? maybe like 10 or 15 should i try? i make my own from acrlyic most are ok but some i made to thin?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Charles, I spray my .35 and lower (needles) airbrushes at 27 p.s.i. you can lower your air pressure as long as you are getting good atomization.

[@awash-mg8ce]

I'm wanting to use this paint on my model cars what paint should I get for my plastic models?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

awash2004, I would use wicked. It is formulated for hard surfaces. Plastic, metal, etc. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@richardbuck1596]

Great video provides a lot of information, thanks

[@richardward-fc6fu]

Is it ok to mix 2 wicked colors together

[@dancuccurullo8453]

Richard, absolutely! When I started, I got the primary set, and from that, I could mix and get any color I needed. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.

[@cjadams7434]

Thoughts on the new 4013 vs 4011 woth the candy 2o and wiked / airbrush ...

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

CJ, not sure why Createx even came out with the 4013. I have tried it and it works just like the 4011. The most current videos from Chris Arpin at Createx always recommends 4011 they never mention the 4013. 4011 contains propylene glycol monomethyl ether Aceatate and 4013 has isopropyl alcohol. It look to me that the 4013 is not as harsh physically and environmentally. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@cjadams7434]

@@TheAirbrushGarage awesome ..thanks for clearing that up! - would be great to do a video on proper disposal for all the leftover paint/chemicals stuff...i also do 3d printing so go though gallons of ipa and photopolymer printer resin ...i"m planning on going the evaporate & cure route with trays in the sun...i'm not a giant car painter or anything ...it's pricey to have it hauled away

[@tazterific1]

I'm starting to get back into airbrushing again my question is with the candy paint is it a good idea to use mixing cups with measuring units on the cups? I understand that you need to use the 4050 first so for a example if I use 2 ounces of 4050 I would use 10 percent of the candy and then 10 percent of reducer, right?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

If mixing large enough amounts for a mixing cup it is 6 to 16 parts of the clear and one part of the candy. If mixing small amount directly in a cup the mixed ratio is Is is different I tell the ratios in the video but when it comes down to it if I am mixing directly in my airbrush I mix approximately 50% of the clear and 50% of the candy with 10% reducer

[@tazterific1]

OK thank you for the help

[@jasondixon2828]

Good to see you are suddenly using the 4011, or so it seems. Time to tape is 45-60min just fyi

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Jason, thanks for the comment and watching. Much appreciated.

[@TubeInspire]

Thanks for the great info!

[@johnbarnette3916]

as a wannabe beginner, what paints should I start out with

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

John, I would start with the wicked colors. If you ever get into eraser Techniques for texturing you can get some illustration colors. You can do them with the wicked it's just easier with the illustration. Totally recommend you start with wicked! Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@johnbarnette3916]

thanks for responding

[@randyesparza3350]

Are these paints good for metal aluminum etc?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Randy, absolutely. The wicked colors were formulated for hard surfaces and when the uvls clear is added it performs as a urethane making it even more durable. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@jparryprodeal]

I recently bought creates but they are still sending the candy2O sets with 4012 reducers.not the 4011, I am asking if they re clearing stocks fo rather 4012 reducers since many on the web are saying 4012 is inferior to 4011 and creates has already stop producing it, why are we still getting 4012.but vertex support says 4012is OK.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Jparry, 4012 will work I have used it for years. It's main ingredient is Acetone. I only had trouble with it when I would mix it with the 4030 Clear and since the UVLS Clears came out I will never use the 4030 anyway. Createx does recommend to use the 4011 with all there paints. If you contact Createx more than likely they will send you a bottle of 4011. Hope this helps. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@jparryprodeal]

@@TheAirbrushGarage Thank you for your reply. Becos I lived in Singapore, The shipping cost is 100% of the paint cost itself. Createx (I bought from spray gunner). I asked them to send to a USA address VPOSTUSA and then this Sg postal service in USA will sen d to me in Singapore. But the shipping cost is still not cheap. I save abt 40% provided I maximised the shipping cost. But this is again beyond my control. Spraygunner packer just packed the way they liked and shipping me lots of air from USA. It is also this that one bottle of paint was broken as there were too much movement. BTW they shipped me 50% air with the paint. I just read what you said and read the data sheet and in noway was 4012 mentioned. But unfortunately they ship me 2 x bottles of 4012 in the Candy2O sets. I asked them but they says it is oK to use 4012. They are not being honest. if it is OK then the data sheet should have stated 4012 in the candy2O. They are trying to clear 4012 stocks and don't care about problem faced with the customer, I guessed.

[@meanasscobra]

@@jparryprodeal have you tried Trident airbrush Paint?

[@jparryprodeal]

@@meanasscobra No so far have only use createx. Buying paint from USA is ex for me because the shipping by Fedex or DHL is very high. most of the paint I have to x3 the price of paint landed in singapore. Worst They shipped lots of USA air to me. Because it was soo loosely packed and they moved around , a bottle was broken and leaking when arrived. BTW how is trident in yr opinion.

[@meanasscobra]

@@jparryprodeal trident is a very good paint flows incredibly well! Considering they are located in Australia they might be a very good alternative for you

[@jerrycarnesjr6440]

Thanks I paint model cars I always seen a slurry mix I didn’t want to put a lot of money out especially if it does work good for me

[@Dtag1971]

Does anyone have issues with its spoiling in the bottle. Im a t shirt guy. This is driving me crazzee.

[@Daryl185]

I use createx exclusively for doing my fishing lures and one of the things that I've learned from watching fishing lure videos is they always heat set the paint with a hair dryer I didn't see you mention anything about the candy 2.0 or any of the other colors that you were describing requiring a heat set is this something that is still required

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Daryl, I never use heat. I did years ago when they said that was thing to do. But if you watch any of the createx video right from Createx they only recommend air flow. If you watch the videos where I am spraying candy 2o I demonstrate this with a fan. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@Daryl185]

Ty helps me out

[@Dude_Slick]

This paint is making me wanna quit. I can't get this stuff to spray to save my life.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Dude! Don't quit. What are you using? Wicked or Illustration? Where did you get it? and what brush are you using?

[@Dude_Slick]

@@TheAirbrushGarage Right now I have Wicked Detail colors (whole set) as well as Illustration black, and Wicked opaque white. I have only 4012 reducer. I also have the Candy2.0 primary set but haven't even tried them. I've tried 1 to 1, straight out of the bottle and everything in between. Using a GSI Creos PS-771 ( .18), Iwata HP-C (.3) , and an Infinity (.15) Same issue with all. The .3 Iwata is not as severe.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

@Dude Slick you have me baffled. I will say DO NOT use the 4012 with the candy 2o. Only use the 4011 and the uvls clear. Also, reach out to Createx via email. Tell them what you are experiencing. They are very good at taking care of their customers and might even send you some free paint. Let me know how they take care of you.

[@Dude_Slick]

@@TheAirbrushGarage Bro thanks for all the advice. I did a soap test on the Creos late last night and got some bubbles. (is a brand new brush) So I stuck a bit of teflon tape on the threads, and it seemed to help. The Illustration black thinned 1:1 with distilled water seems to be a step in the right direction. Dug out my bee's wax this morning and will be going over all my brushes with a fine toothed comb. I'm also ordering some 4011, and Only using the 4012 for cleaning. I'll do what it takes to get this sorted. Thanks for talking me down man.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

@@Dude_Slick I would still reach out to Createx. Good luck and let me know.
