Thanks I’ll give the sponge brush a try

I did alright on a piece of body tube to test with. I bought some CreatexWicked colors to try out. I also bought some Pledge Future, this I’m not sure about. I don’t think I sprayed enough. It didn’t flatten to well. It’s shiny but matte looking. Any thoughts would be appreciated.



Createx states in it's literature that the Wicked
Colors, unlike the plain Colors, don't need to be heat cured, but it produces a better finish. The Createx Colors line is less expensive, but seems to have more hues and effects than the Wicked Colors.

There are quite a few postings at the Cantina with some of my findings and results, including using future to thin the paints.

In addition, In the Rocket First Aid Forum, I have pictures of a Astro-Cam fin Can I repaired and painted the fin with the Createx Colors black.

I didn't use the Pledge to finish coat that one, while still using it as a thinner.
