Add to colors to reduce color values
or to increase opacity (It may negate
the special effects characteristics of
certain colors.) Add small amounts to
color until desired result is achieved
(up to 25%).
An additive designed to slow the
drying time of Createx Colors.
Generally, this product is not
required and not recommended in other
than extreme conditions (i.e.,
extremely hot conditions).
When used in very small increments (1
- 2 drops per 4 oz of color) it can
also enhance flow and help prevent
paint drying in the tip of the
airbrush. Mix thoroughly.
The go-to, recommended thinner for all Createx paints and clears.
4011 is a water-based thinner used to lower viscosity and promotes faster drying times and complete curing.

paint. 4011 also helps reduce tip-dry compared to
diluting with water. Intended for use with all Createx

Assists drying times by flashing water from the paint
Reduces tip-dry, and decreases paint viscoity *"thins it" for improved flow and atomization, especially when airbrushing.
Colors dry faster, cure to a harder coating compared with reducing with 4011 Reducer.
Specialty thinner for use in humid or cold conditions
4020 works best by mixing with 4011 to create a cocktailed

4040 Bleed Checker is a hybridized, urethane-acrylic clear used as an inter-coat intended for application over candy2o to prevent the candy2o’s dyes from bleeding into top-coated colors.
Apply 4040 Bleed Checker over candy2o as an inter-coat. After 4040 has thoroughly dried (30 – 60 minutes), other colors including subsequent candy2o colors may be applied direct without scuffing. 4040 will prevent the underlying candy2o’s dye from leaching (“bleeding”) into the top-coated colors.
Apply 4040 Bleed Checker un-reduced, straight from the bottle when applying as an inter-coat over candy2o. Do not reduce with 4011 Reducer as it’s a solvent used with candy2o and use of it in 4040 will create a shared material between candy2o and 4040 which may allow for bleeding.
