Art No: CTX-W016-02 – Createx Wicked Transparent Apple Green – 60ml        

Wicked Transparent Airbrush Colors are water-based, acrylic, multi-surface airbrush paints suitable for any airbrush project and spray-gun application. Made with lightfast pigments and a durable resin, they are excellent for interior application and exterior application with a top coat clear applied over Wicked Colors, such as UVLS Clears.

Wicked Transparent Colors are standard graphic colours that spray transparent / semi-opaque due to a high pigment volume but may be extended to make a more translucent colour. Transparent colours spray well out of the bottle with a 0.5mm airbrush tip size and will spray a little better after thinning 5% – 10% per volume with 4011 Reducer for smaller airbrush tip- sizes.

Wicked Colours™ is an ultra-high performance, multi-surface airbrush paint, perfect for t-shirts, automotive graphics, illustration and almost any application. Wicked contains mild amounts of solvent inter-mixed with a durable, exterior-grade resin and automotive pigments. This makes for an extremely durable paint that withstands direct, prolonged exposure to outdoors elements without washing or fading.

Due to them having exceptional flow and atomization they can be used right out of the bottle with most airbrush tip-sizes, including 0.2mm detail tips. Wicked Colours may be reduced with Auto Air 4011 Flash Reducer in any ratio for improved flow, atomization and customizing viscosity preferences.

• Best sprayed with airbrush tip-sizes 0.3mm to 0.5mm, air pressure generally set at lower 20 to 40+ psi.
• Thin with 4011 Reducer for use with smaller tip-sizes and lower psi setting ~ 5% – 10% per volume.
• Mix with 4050 UVLS Gloss Clear (recommended) or 4030 Balancing Clear to create a durable acrylic-urethane resin blend that adheres better to hard-surfaces and cures to a more durable, mar-resistant coating.

Wicked airbrush Colours™ are:

• Water-based (although does contain mild amounts of solvent inter-mixed with a durable, exterior-grade resign and automotive pigments)
• Versatile
• Permanent
• Non-toxic
• Lightfast
• Sprays smooth with a silky, finely atomized pattern
• Self-levelling while drying to a flat, even finish without the “orange peel” look.
• Excellent adhesion
• May be masked with automotive tape
• Use for entire vehicle paint jobs or graphics
• Intermixable to allow limitless colour blends and effects
• Made with automotive specific pigments and binders
• Ready-to-spray out of the bottle – no mixing required
• Fully compatible with any automotive urethane clears, paints and primers

Advantages of Wicked airbrush Colours™ over urethane systems:

• Surprising performance
• No time windows to work under
• Greater flexibility – more resistant to chipping and flaking
• Easy clean-up
• Cost savings and time efficiency
• Safer to use
• Contain less than 0.01% VOC

For automotive refinishing, a durable, catalyzed urethane clear is recommended. Wicked Colours cure to a strong film with air-drying alone. Heat may be used to further assist curing and is recommended for t-shirts and fabrics intended for use with multiple washings. Heat is not required for automotive, illustration and most other applications.
