IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CREATEX 2005-06 NEW Createx Airbrush Color Additions and Product Improvements. Createx is pleased to announce several exciting new additions to its popular line of ready to spray Airbrush Colors. 5311 Pearl Pineapple 5312 Pearl Tangerine 5313 Pearl Lime 5314 Pearl Plum 5133 Canary Yellow 5134 Maui Blue 5135 Purple Createx Colors takes its Airbrush Colors to the next level. Createx Colors has incorporated several product revisions to its popular line of Airbrush Colors. The company has significantly improved the color flow, color selection and overall performance. The new colors feature an advanced suspension/thickening system which allows the colors, when shaken, to thin out to a very flowable consistency (this process is called psuedoplasticity). Once it is sprayed out onto the surface the product sets up to sit slightly on top of the surface requiring fewer coats to be applied while offering a brighter color. Due to this revised consistency some air pressure adjustments may need to be lowered to compensate for these flow advancements. The new colors also contain several improvements in the area of tip drying and fine lines. This will allow the artist to spray a micro line without colors wicking or spreading. This is especially important for the professional airbrush artist. The airbrush artist will also notice how the colors have a “softer” feel on the trigger with less air pressure. Colors will respond better and have a silky flow. The older formulation would often require frequent stops or jerky trigger motions. This new product requires minimal effort to achieve smooth unending lines. These modifications allow the artist to “work” the needle less and improve overall user satisfaction. This may require airbrush artists to make some slight technique adjustments. The other major change is in the Transparent Colors. These have been adjusted for improved color brightness and pigment intensity. Some of the colors may appear lighter than in the past, but the color, once applied to the surface will outperform its previous counterpart. New specialty pigments (concentrated colorants) have been utilized and exciting new colors such as Canary Yellow, Maui Blue and Purple have been added. Some old standards like Violet, Caribbean Blue and Tropical Green have been dramatically improved. In the Pearlized Color line exciting new shades including Pearlized Tangerine, Pineapple, Lime Green and Plum have been added. Overall, the new color line is much brighter and is closer to the actual bottled color when it is sprayed. The previous color line formulation had a tendency to look very dark in the bottles but dried to a much lighter shade. The new colors maintain a closer look to the wet color without losing any of the pigment concentration. This allows for artists to have a better idea when choosing the color in the bottle. In fact, the colors have a higher solid content than ever before with superior color intensity and brightness.

CREATEX: THE ULTIMATE MULTI-SURFACE AIRBRUSH COLOR

Createx ready-to-spray colors are produced using ultra-fine pigments which are homogenized into a unique acrylic base that makes the colors permanent on a variety of surfaces, from t-shirts to metals. Using Createx mediums and additives allows you to control intensity of tone, opaqueness, transparency, adhesion to difficult surfaces, and the type of finish (i.e. glossy or matte). You can custom mix your own colors by adding only drops of liquid Pure Pigment into either the transparent or Opaque Airbrush Mediums. The Pure pigments may be added to any other ready to spray colors for added intensity or to modify the color.
