yes you can use candy 2o with illustration colors, I painted demonic eyes with blood red and used black candy for "slime" over illustration white. ✌

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Anssi, very good to know. See everytime I say never... I go against what I alway preach...Never Say Never. If I have an opportunity I will give it a try. That I fo will be very helpful for other viewers. Thanks.

Thanks for a very informative and useful video. Appreciate your time! Also,I have used candy2.0 with my illustrative work. Plays nice with all my Wicked and Illustration colors for that purpose. Again, thanks!!!

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

John, I have been getting a lot of viewers saying they use the candy with the illustrations so if I see the opportunity I'll give it a try.. thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

For airbrush use, what do you set your pressure at and how long between coats?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Kris, I spray at 27 psi and with Ceatex illustration or wicked paints, there is no wait time between coats. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.

[@billybubba600]

Great video! I have watched/used candy 2-0 and know the recommended mixes but the questions I got answered with your video is my old Createx paints. I have a full bottle of bleed-checker and was wondering if I had to 'seal' the candies with 2k or could I still use my bleed-checker. I noticed that some have used illustration colors with candies and I have tested this. But what I found is, yes, you can use them together, I just can't seem to get the same intensity when I do it that way. But I still do it when I want a little pop to something like the guy below said on eyes or blood, etc. Thanks for the great information on using these!

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Billy, I am glad you found the video helpful. The information you gave of your experience is very helpful, much appreciated. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

[@richgebhardt7960]

Great video! Which 2k clear do you use?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Rich, I use spray max. Here is a video I did on 2k clear. I started with Eastwood but now use spray max. They both are good but spray max is a better value. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onTHiZuGg96Lac0si=db2YDQD5GQ4-aDjS

[@BeautyGalorex3]

Can you paint this over a silver chrome for the mirror chrome effect?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

BG, the answer is yes. I always recommend doing a test piece if you are putting a different product over another. If both products ste Createx, you are good to go. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.

[@janfultz]

Question ! How can I determine what size needle or nozzle is in my Iwata Eclips HP CS ? There are no designation on these parts ! Thanks Bud

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Jan, If its from the factory it is a .35. And you are correct. there is no designation that I know of. They really should have one. Thanks for the question and I hope this helps.

[@CrucesNomad1]

Why paint a board, paint a model or something. But good info and thank you for your expertise.

[@gordon8753]

How long do you need to wait in between coats of the candy?

[@dancuccurullo8453]

Gordon, 10 to 15 minutes. You want to be sure it is dry. (To the touch).

[@Exitwoundstudio]

Cool, good job Dan. What air pressure do you recommend for airbrush? Thank you.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

I spray everything at 27 psi. I keep it simple. There are times to reduce preasure but very far and few between. Thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

[@Exitwoundstudio]

Thanks for answering my question and now I have more questions; Top coat of 2K or K2 is to pricey for me. What are your thought on spray can enamel or lacquer clear top coat? Any thoughts on Createx Flair colors? Thanks again.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

@@Exitwoundstudio Die, if it is not going to be exterior then yes regular spray can clear is fine bit if it is going to be exterior a great option is 2k clear in a can I like Spray Max. I have videos on that product as well.

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

@@Exitwoundstudio oh and I have the flair colors but have yet to experiment with them but when I do rest a sure I will put a video out on it. Lol

Hey Dan I need your help !! Seriously I was doing a painting and I opened my cretex detail violet and shook it up and I was using a little mixing cup ! I poured in my 4011 and I poured the violet in and the smell was horrible it smelled like sulfer and rotten onions or eggs it burned my nose and throat really bad I can barely talk and I got really sick I’ve been throwing up all day I can’t keep nothing down! Has this ever happened to you and what should I do I just bought it at hobby lobby ! I’m scared cause my throat really hurts and my nose burns ! Please help me !! In advice !

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

El Padre, createx is water based paint. There are no solvents in it. The reducere is basically isopropyl alcohol. You can reach out to createx. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope you get better soon.

[@HAIRMETALAIRBRUSH]

@@TheAirbrushGarage I found out it’s a bacteria that gets in the paint at the factory it’s rare but it does happen once and awhile but last night was really bad and my throat still hurts really bad ! Thank you for the follow up !

Hi! Can I mix candy2o yellow with candy 2o blue and get a candy2o green sort of color?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

R, you can mix as many colors together as you want with the candy 2o. So, yes. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching.

[@Andluth]

Will the Createx work in water based poly from General finishes ? Greetings from Calvert county!

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Andluth, I have only used it as I describe so I don't know. But...a water based poly does seem like it could be a suitable carrier. All you can do is experiment. If you do please let me know your results. Thanks for the question and watching.

[@Andluth]

@@TheAirbrushGarage I will try it. anywhere in Maryland I can get that OTC or is online best?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

@@Andluth Hobby Lobby has some Createx but I have links in the description for your convenience. I prefer to buy online.

[@Red5Ltr]

Do you recommend 4050 for spraying on lexan?

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

John, you can add the 4050 to any of the createx paints for added durability. I have only ever used Wicked on lexan without the wicked. But it's been a while since I sprayed on lexan. If I were to have to do it now , I would add a drop or two to my cup. I like the way it makes the paint spray, and it adds more durability to an already durable paint. Oh.. I'm sorry. The answer is yes, you can. Lol. Thanks for the question, and thanks for watching.

A few questions that I hope you may provide links to if possible. I paint 1/25 scale plastic car models with an airbrush. Do you have a link for a small filter that can be used with an airbrush cup to strain the paint? What recommendations do you have for small bottles of 2K clear and do they need to be mixed as well? Thank you

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Hi Jim, I am not aware of any small paint straining filters. I'm sure someone has them. I just never had a need to strain my airbrush paint. Also, I never heard of small 2k clear bottles. What are you referring to?

@@TheAirbrushGarage Just looking for 2K clear coat that you were speaking of. What brands do you recommend? You mentioned it is expensive unlike the Createx line of products that you can get in small bottles. Again, this is for 1/25 scale model paint jobs. Thanks

[@TheAirbrushGarage]

Jim, I use Spray Max in a can. It is a 2k clear, it cast around $25 to $30 a can. I use it for exterior jobs and thing that need durability. Like guitars or catchers masks for example. and once you pop the activator in it, it only last a couple of days in the can. I wouldn't use it on your particular application. I would just use a good rattle can Clear like Kylon. That's what I use. I hope this helps.
