paint again
« on: May 06, 2011, 10:25:00 AM »
hey guys I did a search looking for what airbrush paint people use. Is createx still the favorite? Is everyone still happy with their Iwatas? I am trying to step up my game. 1 practice 2 practice 3 practice 4 have the right equipment. Do you guys use compressors or CO2 tanks. I work second shift and would like to paint at night, but my compressor is pretty loud for midnight.

Createx is what most use I believe. Regular or auto air are both mixable.

IDK a couple airbrush guys said they are both the same thing its a marketing ploy to charge more for the auto air like I said I don't know I use createx works for me.I thought the auto air was a finer grain but who knows.

I don't know if it is me, but I get a headache if I don't wear a mask with Createx.  Anybody else have issues with Createx?

You should always be wearing a mask. Did you know that water based paint still contains solvents in it?? yikes

no smell to autoair that I've heard of. There are some better colors in autoair than createx is why many use them too.
