Can someone help me with some information on Paints?

Hello,

I am just curious. I have read on this board and some other boards that you can use Createx paints instead of Faskolor. I am unclear about which paints people are using:

Createx Colour - http://www.createxcolors.com/product_lines/airbrush_color.htm

or

Auto Air - http://www.autoaircolors.com

Also what do i need to do to the paint (if anything) to get it to bond well with lexan bodies. I have been receiving alot of different feedback from different people and it has confused me quite alot.

I hope you guys can help clear this up for me.

Thanks,
Kyle

I use Auto Air because I use it for painting helmets, motorcycles, bicycles, and most anything else. It works well on lexan too, but is somewhat expensive. It helps to add flex agent to it as well, but it's not absolutely necessary.

Createx's regular line of "Air Opaque" paints are interchangable with Faskolor, and work just as well. Scuff the inside of the body with a scotchbrite pad and then wash and dry the body before painting.

Thanks man, are the Createx Air transparent, florescents etc ok to use too?

[Cosmo]

Yeah. The transparents really don't show up as transparent, though.
