Createx AutoBorne Sealer

[@simoncarter679]

Yet another great video. Ive been using Sealer black a lot recently as i paint on aluminium panels which are white, but I prefer painting on a dark surface. After a little playing with reduction they flow great through my e4 LPH80 and man is the finish tough. I use erasing and scratching techniques with Wicked over the top and do not need to intercoat over the black. It just holds up by itself. Killer product.

[@CreatexColors]

Thank you!

[@Leopold---1320]

I love the autoborne sealers. They fill and sand really well. Can you guys do a video of one of your w403 hi-light green over white with a clear clear coat to get a "ghost" pearl effect please!! Thanks for the inspiring videos.

[@dustyart580]

Imo one of the best products to come from Createx. I sprayed my van bonnet with it last year, later that day we had thunder storms and our summer was over and I couldn't put a protection coat over the sealer so it sat like that threw the winter i also have seagulls nesting on my house so obviously my van got covered in seagulls scrap as I don't have a garage, anyhoo when I washed the crap off my van a year later the lacquer on the rest of the van had reacted to the bird poop where as the bonnet cleaned up like i'd just painted it that day, like I say a great product..

Hey Chris thanks for the tutorial man you’re saving myself right now I’m doing a job with Otterbourne sealer I’ve only done it before a few times but great tutorial man really helped out a lot

[@CreatexColors]

Thank you for letting us know these videos are helpful!

[@JohnDoe-og2bt]

I might experiment with a black base with that silver sealer misted over so it barely doesnt cover all the black and see how smooth it sets and if it dries in the air at that distance because I love that effect for candies. Even if its not an actual paint i just really love that particular silver

[@CreatexColors]

Paint applied by dry-spay does not have good cohesion. Make a test panel before the actual paintjob. Thank you.

[@kylezakk]

Possibly a dumb question but when you say they are compatible do you mean AutoBorne Sealer can be mixed with Wicked Airbrush Colors? Or just applied over it? Thanks

[@CreatexColors]

All Createx paints are compatible with one another. AutoBorne Sealer can be sued as a sealer-primer for other pint types, both water-based and solvent-based. Thank you.

Can I base auto sealer over a panel, then spray bed liner material( t-Rex) over it?

[@Indyjeeplover]

Great video. Very complete information Question…..I have both Silver Sealer and 6001 White Sealer. I paint fishing lures (hard plastic). They are typically coated first with opaque white to make the subsequent colors more vivid. One of the problems we run into is the baits may get scratched when adding a mesh mask over the top. If White Sealer is this tough, is there any reason I should not be using it? Also I’ve added Candy2O to silver sealer to get very vivid metallics. Any reason to not do this? Your videos are excellent because there is no long lead in, no blaring music, and you are straight forward but cover details. Thx

[@CreatexColors]

6001 AutoBorne Sealer White is a clean white which makes a good base to apply graphics over. Yes, candy2o can be mixed with 6013 Silver Sealer. You may find the color is easier to apply evenly / uniformly by adding some 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear to the 6013 Silver Sealer & candy2o mix. for more assistance, please email us at [e-mail]. Thank you.

Yes, AutoBorne Sealer may be dry sanded. For 6013 Silver Sealer, the scratch marks from the sanding will show so apply another light coat after sanding. Thank you.

Hey Chris, I've been painting Gundam models using my hp-cs and createx products. I've been trying to prime my pieces (after washing them and sanding them decently well with 600 grit) using the sealers, but they seem to be very fragile or not adhere well. I taped a piece after a day and it pulled the sealer off, and in other cases even handling the piece scrapped some sealer off. What do you think I'm doing wrong? I'm a huge fan of the Createx products, these videos you make are great, thanks Chris

[@CreatexColors]

Scuff with 320-grit or a red coarse pad, and make sure to clean after with a solvent-based degreaser. The HP-CS is a 0.35mm tip? Please note as instructed in the video and tech sheets, the smallest tip-size recommended for spraying AutoBorne Sealer is a 0.5mm tip. Thinning AutoBorne Sealer so it sprays through a 0.35mm tip requires too much reducer for proper adhesion of the Sealer. If needing to use a 0.35mm tip, you may wish to try Wicked Opaque Colors as the primer. Thank you.

[@cbraps7122]

@@CreatexColors hey Chris, I tried your suggestion using the opaque, my bad on missing the tip size, I was improperly using the autoborne for sure. But I'm having much better results with the opaque!! Thanks again I appreciate it

[@Renoz71]

I have a masters airbrush model g79, which needle size would be better for airbrushing the silver sealer? .5mm or .8mm?

[@CreatexColors]

If applying 6013 Silver Sealer as a base, ground-coat, the 0.8mm may work best. Thank you.

[@jimkaminski871]

Love your videos, very informative. I currently use Stynylrez because it’s a water based primer. It covers well and levels itself. Biggest complaint is it clumps up even in the bottle and causes all kinds of issues in the airbrush. Do the Autobourne sealers clump up easily? Watching your videos makes me wonder if it’s time to switch primers.

[@CreatexColors]

Thank you for watching. AutoBorne Sealers have excellent adhesion and cure to a hard-coating, perfect for painting Createx paints over. AutoBorne Sealers do not have conglomerations ("clumps") in solution; we know how to make paint.

[@javkiss]

Hello and thanks for all the videos you create, I have a question, I'm thinking about painting some automotive plastics with AutoBorne Sealer, I plan to sand the parts first with 320 and then apply the sealer, my question is can I add some 4050 Gloss Clear to the sealer to make it more adhesive and then apply it to the plastic surface, and can I apply the 4050 Gloss Clear to the sanded 320 surface first and then apply the AutoBorne Sealer over that, Thanks James V.

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear can be added to AutoBorne Sealer, although for plastics its not really required. If you do make a mix, try AutoBorne Sealer 3:1 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear, thin 10% -15% 4011 Reducer. Apply with a 1.3mm/1.4mm tip-size. Thank you.

[@twoponchos]

I’m about to spray a complete car with sealer black. I don’t have enough 4011 reducer. Can I substitute 4012 ?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, 4012 Reducer can be used with AutoBorne Sealer. AutoBorne Sealer is the only Createx product we'd still recommend thinning with 4012 Reducer or 4011 Reducer; all other 4011 Reducer only between the two. Thank you.

Can the Autoborne Sealer go straight on to a scotch-brite surface on ATV plastics? Even with adhesion promoter applied, rattle can plastic paint just peels right off.

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, AutoBorne Sealer can be applied direct to plastics used for ATV / Dirt Bike fenders. Prepare paint by cleaning and scuffing surface ~ 320 - 400 grit. For more, please see our hard-surface application guide available at www.creatextech.com. We agree, many spray-can primers don't work that well and spray-can paint is weak. Thank you.

[@robbyhuntf2b]

Could you touch on what psi you would spray at? Thank you!

[@CreatexColors]

For a spray-gun, inlet psi is determined by the manufacturer of the gun, which on average is ~ 20 psi. For a 0.5mm tip-sized airbrush, psi would be ~ 25 - 30+ psi, depends on technique, what's being painted. Thank you.

[@DatFunnyPerson]

Is Silicone Remover a solvent based cleaner? Could I use that for cleaning After the Sealer?

[@CreatexColors]

No, a solvent-based degreaser is a general cleaner. Use a post-sanding, solvent-based degreaser with Createx paints, such as PPG SX320 or House of Kolor KC-20. Most automotive paint & body supply stores sell a solvent-based degreaser made for cleaning paint. If the paint is allowed to dry long enough, damping a lint-free towel with 99% isopropyl alcohol also works. Thank you.

Can i put a diamond clear over this sealer for a basic paint job?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, solvent-based epoxy and urethane clears can be applied over Createx paints, including AutoBorne Sealer. For best results, allow AutoBorne Sealer to thoroughly dry, and clean with a solvent-based degreaser (or 99% isopropyl alcohol) before top-coating with the diamond clear. Please make a test panel before doing this for the first time on an actual paintjob. For more, please visit www.creatextech.com. Thank you.

Great vid and info, thank you for that! Question: If I were to use the Autoborne silver sealer as a basecoat and then painted with your fluorescent line - would that achieve a sparkle fluorescent effect? Thanks in advance!

[@CreatexColors]

Kinda, as fluorescent colors are very translucent. Make a test panel or two to determine the result. Best will be extending the fluorescent with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear; try mixing 1:1. Top-coat with a 2k gloss clear to best bring out the metallic effect of 6013 through the fluorescent color. Thank you.

Ive done a few smaller "test" projects with Autoborne sealer and love the coverage and look i get, but now im working on a slightly larger project spraying sealer silver through an LPH80 1.2 w/E4, and having a terrible time with the tip getting cloged - after a bit of spraying i can actually see the buildup on the outside of my nozzle - any tips?

[@CreatexColors]

Thin more using 4011 Reducer, not 4012) ~ 20% per volume for an LPH-80 with a 1.2mm (E4) tip. For larger projects, AutoBorne 6013 Silver Sealer is better applied with a full-sized gun with a 1.3mm or 1.4mm tip, but the 1.2mm LPH-80 works, just may need an extra coat or two due to 20% reduction. Thank you.

What would you recommend for doing a fiberglass helmet in teal? I want a vibrant teal, but I also plan on doing a teal flake with it. I've been going back and forth between a sealer teal sealer mix or doing the the silver sealer. Could I do the silver sealer without doing a candy? First time trying this, but I want to achieve my vision.

[@CreatexColors]

If using 4666 candy2o Tealiscious, a sealer base of 6013 Silver Sealer will work well. If applying Wicked w309 Pearl Teal, a sealer base of either 6001 Sealer White or 6001 Sealer White tinted with 6009 Process Blue will work; mix Sealer White 2:1 Sealer Process Blue. 6010 Sealer Green could also be used with the Sealer White & Process Blue mix for a more teal looking sealer base. Just make sure the sealer base is a lighter value then the teal color applied over it. Thank you.

AutoBorne Sealer is fairly flexible especially for a primer. Try painting a flexible substrate, such as a Leneta opacity spray-out card, and bending it so as to make your own test. Thank you.

So you guys have a display of a metallic gold, metallic silver, a metallic grey and pearl white base with your candy Coats over it. My Question is are you laying a sealer under those before you lay the metallic gold or the metallic Gray.. Because you have the metallic silver sealer, are you using a black or white sealer with the metallic gold or the metallic Gray over it and then the candy?

[@CreatexColors]

6013 Silver Sealer is a stand alone silver that can be used as the silver base for candy2o. When using a different metallic base, such as Wicked W350 Metallic Gold, then an AutoBorne Sealer would first be applied before the Metallic Gold. This process is demonstrated in the Making of the candy2o Board video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZa9gWCogMueras. Thank you.

Reduce a bit more with 4011 Reducer. Do not use 4012 Reducer. AutoBorne Sealer is a primer, so when sprayed through a small 0.5mm tip-sized airbrush, there will be tip-dry as opposed to a 1.3/1.4mm tip-sized spray-gun, especially Sealer White. Thank you.

Hey there, I've been struggling to use these sealers in my .5mm Iwata neo airbrush on diecast cars. My airbrush doesn't seem to put out as much paint as the .5mm you used in the video, looked a bit larger than mine. but at any rate If I reduce the paint a little to much its beads up on my substrate, if I go thicker the airbrush quickly starts to become clogged and spray erratically at best. I'm spraying around 35psi and using 2 drops of your 5607 retarder in about 8ml of paint. yes very small models so I don't need to mix more than that. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated thx!

[@CreatexColors]

AutoBorne Sealer is a primer., not paint, and needs a large volume airbrush or spray-gun for application. A NEO's internal channel is too narrow, even with a 0.5mm tip. Use an airbrush with a wider internal channel such as an Eclipse. Thank you.

Hi Chris great videos. Would this help regarding painting helmets? I prep the helmet with 320 then followed by a high build rattle can primer. I then go over that with red scotch bright. However if I then use an airbrush paint on and cover with a transparent base I’m finding if I fine line tape on to it once I feel it off it’s taking the airbrush paint with it 🤬 any help would be appreciated

[@CreatexColors]

Depending on the condition of the helmet, i.e. new vs. having surface imperfections that need to be filled will determine whether to apply a surfacer / build-primer after scuffing with 320-grit / a coarse, red pad. If applying a build-primer, we do not recommend rattle can primers. Apply AutoBorne Sealer after scuffing the helmet surface or primer in the case its applied; the primer should be scuffed 400 - 600 grit before applying AutoBorne Sealer. Airbrush over AutoBorne Sealer which will serve as your base-coat / ground coat. Thank you. www.autoborne.com.
