Title: Paint
Post by: TritonTR20 on April 05, 2009, 08:22:15 PM
How long does it take Createx acrylic to dry? I painted a few cranks yesterday at the auto body shop with automotive paints. We put a flex agent in the clearcoat. Dried really fast and clear coated within a short amount of time. I have not used Createx acrylic. Question is how long does it take to dry, blending between colors, etc.

You need to heatset Createx paints and other acrylics.  Zap them with a hair dryer for 10 or 15 seconds (highest heat setting) and you should be good to move on to the next coat.   I hold my dryer about an inch or two away from the bait and move it around evenly.  When I feel my hand start to burn, I know its just about done...lol.

By the time I clean out the airbrush I can spray the next color.

Do you know where you can get parts for a Brinks Wren airbrush. Haven't been able to find any.
