Illustration Colors are Createx Colors flagship airbrush paints designed for refined atomization and flow through the smallest of airbrush tip sizes, at low psi settings.
Initially designed for the illustrator and fine artist Illustration has proven to be very popular with automotive; mural and a wide range of other airbrush artists due to it's ease of use, spray-ability and light-fast automotive grade pigments.
Illustration Colors meet the expectations of artists who demand exacting airbrush performance straight from the bottle.
All illustration Colors have a delayed curing (cross-linking) Easily scratch, erase or manipulate the painted project for an estimated 48 hours, once cured the are a durable hard paint finish.
Durability without waiting for the full cure: When mixed with 4050 UVLS Illustration Colors do not soft erase. Refer to Illustration Colors Technical Data Sheet for more information.
Thin colors with 4011 Reducer, generally 5% - 20% per volume for airbrush, and 5% - 10% per volume for spray-gun.
The amounts of reducer used to thin your paint vary, there are many factors such as airbrush tip-size, technique and color type. The viscosity of specific colors will vary which affects how much reducer is needed to thin colors to the same flow & atomization.
For example, Burnt Umber, a thick heavy pigmented color, will require more than Yellow to spray the same. Subjective preferences also play a role. These mixing guidelines are just a starting reference. If adding excessive amounts of 4011, consider also adding 5090 Transparent Base.
Of course, I am joking. Createx Illustration colors are my go to color for most of my work in realism. They are minimal fuss, and mostly can be used right out of the bottle in my custom micron. I do over reduce them with 4013 often tho for working at very low pressures and close to a surface, and they still hold up well.
Also, the delayed cross linking allows erasing and sgraffo techniques impossible with other paints without messing around with a mountain of additives and retarders. Ain't nobody got time for that. So I like that they do what I want right out of the bottle.
They probably do go well with ice cream, but I wouldn't recommend it.
excellent..beautiful color..no problems with clogging or spattering....
