## Description

Createx airbrush colors is the number one brand of airbrush paint in the world. Transparent base is a colorless resin base, same as what is used to make createx airbrush colors.

Review: Add chameleon mica powder and voila! - I came across an internet video where someone was showcasing mixing mica powders into airbrush topcoats/varnishes and had to try it. I've always wanted airbrush ready paint that had a "chameleon" color shifting effect. In summary, it kinda works... Heavy mica powders do mix in with the topcoat of choice (I tried matte varnish and gloss topcoat) but they separate quickly. Poking around on desertcart, I came across this and decided to try it. Again in summary, this works really well!!.......WITH the RIGHT mica powder. Exactly what makes a mica powder "right" for this is something I haven't figured out yet! Diving into detail... I've got a variety of mica powders since I resin cast as a hobby too. Only the chameleon mica powder I ordered at the start of this experimental venture would mix in well with this transparent base paint. Every other mica powder I tried just would not mix in with this paint, to include glow-in-the-dark powder that is really fine and dense, to metallic and pearlescent powders that were clumpy and just floated to the top of the paint, and normal colored powder that would again just clump and float. But, the chameleon mica powder I got blends nicely into this transparent base and it stays mixed for the whole time I'm airbrushing with it! When I used a topcoat, I'd have to airbrush for a few seconds, then back-blow air into the airbrush's paint cup to remix the powder, airbrush a few seconds...rinse and repeat. I can take care of all my airbrushing tasks in one sitting with this paint having the mica powder mixed in. So, while I can't really recommend any mica powder to use with this, aside from chameleon color shift powder, if you do want that metallic color shift effect that isn't as subtle as common acrylic color shift paint, get a bottle of this and chameleon mica powder, and some jars to keep your mixes in and have fun!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this a primer or just like a clear coat?**
A: No, it's a paint thinner like acrylic medium.  It allows the paint to dry in a thinner, smoother coat that appears transparent.  Some colors, especially airbrushed, are transparent; greens, yellows, pinks.  Blues are much more opaque and harder to get a transparent tinting effect without using inks.  The transparent base, when a few drops are mixed in with the paint or airbrush, will dry in a much thinner layer, like a glaze.

**Q: have folks mixed this with other acrylic paints of different brands?**
A: Hello, we would not recommend mixing other brands of paint together only because one brand could have a different component or additive that may affect the other paint brand. Best Regards David Spraygunner Team

**Q: Can I mix in colored powder pigment?**
A: Yes as long as the pigment you are using will pass though your airbrush. I have seen it used for color changing pigment.

**Q: What kind of paints (or Inks, etc.) can be mixed with this?**
A: It's intended for acrylic paint and acrylic inks.
