Tom,
I may be new to making lures, but I'm no stranger to Createx paints. I've been using Createx Textile & Auto Air paints on T-shirts, helmets, and auto parts for over 25+ yrs.. I've never had any problems, like the one you mentioned above. I can best break it down like this: Createx paints are a water-based paint. Wax & Grease remover is not. It sounds like you didn't allow enough time for the air dry process. Sometimes, the paint will bead up, or separate when it comes into contact with another product that's not water-based. As a former auto body painter, I've seen this happen in tech school a few times. And it's frustrating having to start all over. Products that not the same product as what you're using will have varying results when mixing one another. I use auto body products from Eastwood Tools, and so far, I haven't had any problems.

I have a ¾ HP Rol-Air compressor that I have set to 70 psi when I spray. I set it high to avoid paint build up on my airbrush's nose cap/tip.
I've included a pic of a helmet I painted using Createx Auto Air Paints, House of Kolor Auto Klear, and House of Kolor Striping Kolors. I plan on using the same paints on some plug kits I bought at the saltwater show in RI this year.
