| Createx paint and ruining bodies - Tips on how now to do what I just did????
A friend of mine and I just attempted to spray my C10 shell and completely destroyed it. We used a detail fun, 35psi, thinned slightly with water, and sprayed LIGHT coats. Prior to taping I wiped the shell down with alcohol. After taping, before spraying, we used a wax and grease remover. I have no idea how we could have prepped any better. Paint didn't stick, it just slid off the sides and pooled up at the body lines. I'm going to use this shell as a test she'll I guess, I don't know. I just wasted 50 bucks though.

I've painted tons of bodies with createx. There was definitely a little learning curve coming from solvent/laquer type. I think you may have too much gun. If you were using an auto detail gun instead of an airbrush it probably wasn't atomizing enough to get a very fine mist. Key is to get a very fine mist covering the body, take a hair dryer and dry that coat, then go to the next. Once you get a good uniform layer covering the body you can start moving to heavier coat. The hair dryer will def speed up time. I use rubbing alcohol as thinner instead of windex to speed things up. Once painted I back with krylon fusion to make waterproof and scratch resistant. Once you get the hang of it, it works great. I no longer scuff bodies, just wash with soap/water. Stuff it very flexible when dry.

I would use the actual createx reducer not water. I use a AB with varied tip sizes and have had no issues with adhesion using Createx or Wicked colors. I use a little dish soap and rinse, that's all. No scuffing required, at least I haven't need to. I recently flipped a truck and the roof caved in. I "popped' it back out and it didn't affect the paint at all. No chipping, pealing, or anything. |

I also apply a couple light coats of clear after adding masks and lightly scuffing, I find the clear coat makes for super sharp paint lines since it actually helps to seal off the masking in areas that sometimes bleed through the paint edges, if the clear gets under your masking you wont see it and the color coat cant since the clear has sealed off those areas.
