Createx Transparent and Opaque Airbrush Colors
A must for any airbrush artist. The most common danger to the smooth operation of your airbrush is improper cleaning. Createx Airbrush Cleaner effectively removes dried color from all internal parts and bottle assemblies without leaving any residue. A special lubricant is formulated into the cleaner to help prevent pigment build-up on the needle and tip. To refurbish a dirty airbrush remove the handle and allow the whole airbrush soak overnight. Cleaner may be diluted with one part water to one part cleaner for normal maintenance.

Transparent Colors: For white and light colored
surfaces
Bright, vibrant colors which do not have fillers for opacity. Transparent Colors most often work best over a bright surface or base color such as Opaque White. Transparent Colors should be used for fine-lined detail operated at lower PSI settings through smaller tip-sizes. For 0.2mm tip-sizes, reduce Transparent Colors with 5608 Illustration Base, Wicked W100 Reducer or Auto Air 4011 Flash Reducer. Transparent Colors blend with underlying colors when faded over for blended color transitions. Transparent Colors are the most common graphic paint used by artists after the base color has been achieved.

Opaque Colors: Covers both dark
and white surfaces
Opaque Colors are solid colors intended to cover underlying colors and surfaces with 2 – 3 coats. Opaque Colors make excellent base colors. For many projects, starting with either Opaque White or Black works best as other colors types will cover quicker with vivid, brighter effects compared to applying colors, for example Pearlized or Transparent, direct to substrate without base of opaque White or Black. Opaque colors work best with larger tip-sized airbrushes operated at higher PSI settings. For fine lined detail, lower PSI settings and small tip-sizes, Transparent Colors work best.
