Joe Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hi Guys , I have a Badger air brush that I have had for a long time. When I first bought the air brush years ago, I didn't take the time to learn how to use it properly and became discouraged and haven't touched it till now. My question is, what thinning mix is recomended for createx paint and what pressure would be a good starting point? How long a waiting time is required till a second coat can be applied? Thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hi: I dont use Createx? (sp), but I use parma and other water based paints. The dry time for them is 15 to 20 minutes between coats with a low humidity. This fellow has a couple online lessons for air brushing: http://www.howtoairbrush.com/lesson%201.htm Practice on lexan sheet, news print, wood to get the feel of your brush. I use anywhere from 17 - 30 psi. Chip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hi Chip, Thanks for the info. That web site should be very helpful. You mentioned Parma paints, is that a brand name, or type of paint. Why do you choose to use it over the other paints? thanks, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 I use water based paints in my brush for ease of cleaning. Michaels, Walmart and most craft stores sell these water based paints. The paints I like to use most are made by PARMA: www.parmapse.com Their faskolor series is used to paint R/C car bodies and have beautiful hues that come thru under light. They can be found at most hobby shops. Looking through the board though....Several people use createx and like it. I have not used it.

Inca Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 Createx & Parma Faskolor = same exact paint. Only difference is Faskolor is about $1.00 more per 2oz. bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coley Posted October 28, 2003 Report Share Posted October 28, 2003 While were talking about paint, has anyone tried Medea Com-Art?? This stuff is water based and advertised to dry instantly.. Coley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
