Createx Illustration Transparent Colors
![]() |
Vivid transparent colors with a high pigment volume and resin load. Colors dry to a matte finish. Designed for refined atomization through any airbrush tip-size, large or small, operated at mid to lower psi settings. Colors flow when faded from full saturation to tint strength without a "grainy" or stipulated over-spray. Colors have a delayed curing cycle during which colors erase easily and after 48 hours cure to a hard coating. Illustration Colors may be sprayed direct from the bottle or thinned with 4011, 4013 or 4020. For hard-surface application, mix 4030 Balancing Clear with Illustration Colors for an excellent automotive transparent color.
