spoonpluggergino Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I am wondering if anyone on this forum has used Createx Pearl Lime Ice. I cannot shoot this particular paint through any of my brushes except for my Paasche brush and also that I have problems. I can shoot all kinds of pearlized paints except for the lime one, no matter how much I reduce it. I am just going to find another brand, I need it due to I paint my perch baits with it just wondering not a big deal Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey Gino, Does that particular paint have a flake in it? The "Ice" description made me think it might have some glitter in it. If it does then the flake could be what's giving you problems instead of how thick the paint is. Have you tried using a larger nozzle in your airbrush? The Paasche brush I have came with 3 nozzles and the largest one is pretty big. I think you could almost spray birdshot through it. hope this helps,, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spoonpluggergino Posted August 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hey Ben You are exactly right it has tiny flakes. My Paasche nozzle has .55mm orifice and I can get it to work with some work. The label instruction says that I can reduce it with illustrator base 5608, that does not work. I also reduced it heavily with 4011 flash reducer same results. I contacted the Createx corporation, if I get a response I will post their answer Thanks every one Gino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone2long Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I have the Talon and a .66mm nozzle/needle and I have not had a problem with anything yet including cheap glitter craft paint for the kids school projects, as Ben said it will shoot up to bird shot!

Anglinarcher Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Yep, I agree. I think my talon with the largest needle and nozzle might even shoot small cannon balls. LOL Have yet to plug that one up, but it is NOT for normal everyday use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayburnGuy Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 Glad you figured it out Gino. If the flake is too big for the nozzle then it won't matter how much you thin the paint. Glad you brought this up because if anyone is planning on using this same paint then they'll know they need an airbrush with a larger nozzle.
