Get Started - Before Paint Basics

[@bravodelta4652]

These videos are some of the best instructional videos on KZbin. Chris is so good at teaching this stuff.

Thanks for watching!

You provide a very valuable service to people like me - new to all of this. Thanks very much!

Lots of great info

Thanks Mike!

Chris, thanks a lot for your great videos. They are so helpful and entertaining. :) I've already learned so much and hope to do so in the future.

Another great and informative video. I use isopropyl alcohol to clean my airbrush when I’m done spraying for the day. Do you see anything negative about using this?

[@CreatexColors]

Isopropyl alcohol works well to clean an airbrush. You may wish to flush with a little reducer before adding paint, but that's probably not required. Thank you.

[@cameronyoung2004]

I missed you guys.

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks! Much more to come including 10 videos already uploaded onto our channel which are going public next week.

@@CreatexColors how do you rate using xylene for a air brush that's been very neglected and dirty.

[@DanJR0422]

Love createx paint

[@CreatexColors]

thank you!

[@MatteLson66]

That compressor.. "kind of overkill..." for the hobbyist.. LOL! I could probably not supply that 10hp monster with enough power.. Great video as always. If I could contribute with a tip for beginners; For spraygun application, don't go lower than 10-12 cfm.

[@CreatexColors]

Thanks for the input!

[@charlievisscher7427]

Not many home painters can afford a compressor that pushes that much air. But there are guns out there that can do excellent spraying with a lot less CFM than that 10-12.

[@tankprohp]

Do you have a link for the mini spray gun that you guys use with the tip to get it down to two CFM

[@thyneshgunaselan4043]

Great video. Thanks.

Quick question, im a bit confused about the wax and grease remover. You are using SX394 and SX320, the PPG website says they are both solvent, the SX394 is not waterbased.

[@CreatexColors]

For cleaning Createx paints soon after they've air dried tack-free, use a solvent -based degreaser (a milder, post-sanding type) such as PPG SX-320. We don't recommend a water-based cleaner for Createx paints, at least not until they've cured for several weeks. The SX 394 has never been really used at Createx. For most surface cleaning, soap & water, followed by a lint-free wipe wetted with 99& isopropyl alcohol works well. Thank you.

[@liquiddesigncustompaint373]

Hi I’ve been using createx for a while now and love the water based system. I had a couple of questions about the video. First is concerning the restorer. Basically what is it? I’ve never seen a liquid that doesn’t evaporate when left exposed to the air. I’ve had it completely melt a plastic plate. If you get it on your hands it takes some scrubbing with soap to get it off. I think people should be informed on safe usage and on disposal as it is not the kind of thing you want to pour down a drain. The second question is are the sprayed paint examples in the background of this video available to be purchased? Thank you

[@CreatexColors]

4008 Restorer is a biodegradable cleaner. For more information, please refer to its tech data sheet available at www.creatextech.com. The color references we paint are not for sale. Thank you.

[@humacao01]

Thanks very informative. BTW what's the name of that lime green on the top right side also the purple 3 steps under it and the darker one 1 step down and 1 over under the light blue... Thanks in advance. I bought two similar ones but were the pearl ones and the color doesn't look similar.

[@CreatexColors]

The top-right green is a mix made of Wicked W016 Apple Green mixed with W422 Hot Rod Gold & W443 Cosmic Sparkle Gold, wickedairbrushcolors.com/transparent. The other is W309 Wicked Pearl Teal. Thank you.

[@suspensefulness]

can u please recommend a compressor for that mini spray gun you mentioned..i paint motorcycle fairings in my garage i cant afford the huge compressors ,as for airbrush i already have the silentaire compressor which i love, quiet and powerful ...thank you soo much for your channel and knowledge...🙏🏾

[@CreatexColors]

A compressor that can maintain 2 CFM with an LPH-80 at Home Depot may work well and cost less. Measure the compressor performance by CFM. Thanks.

[@tankprohp]

Amazon has a 3 gallon 4.0 CFM at 90 PSI stealth compressor at 68 decibels I absolutely love it

[@RussellSmyth]

Can you suggest some alternative "mild solvent based degreasers" - the PPG you mention here I cannot find in the retail market and degreasers do not label themselves as "mild". I have already destroyed works with the wrong cleaner, looking for the right stuff..

[@CreatexColors]

Mild degreaser is meant to describe a post-sanding, solvent-based degreaser which is less aggressive compared to a pre-sanding, solvent-based degreaser which is designed to lift contaminants from scratches so they're not pushed further into the substrate while sanding. A post-sanding degreaser is what to use to clean water-based paint. Thank you.

[@dillardparker7546]

Can you use the airbrush restorer in an ultrasonic cleaner?

[@CreatexColors]

Not sure. If it has any platic parts its best not to. If its stainless steel, then no problem. Thank you.

[@IsraelResendez8833]

Can you use 1.4 tip for my black basecoat with flake?

[@CreatexColors]

Yes, with most flake sizes such as Hot Rod Sparkle Colors, wickedairbrushcolors.com/pearl-flakes. Thank you.

[@IsraelResendez8833]

@@CreatexColors thank you. Watch every video. Rather learn from the best.

[@mml3140]

Great stuff. For an inline regulator : The two I have seem to allow a huge blast when I pull the trigger then quickly 'regulate' down to my set psi. Are there any that give you the set PSI the entire squeeze ? (Hope that makes sense)

[@CreatexColors]

We use Iwata inline filters. RTI also makes great filters; there's many options to choose from. The blast of air could be from having too great a psi difference between what's set at the compressor & regulator, try and set the compressor to be ~ 10 psi more than what the regulator is set at. Thank you.
