4. Setup and Preparation

1. Shake Well: Before each use, thoroughly shake the bottle to ensure pigments are evenly dispersed.
2. Dilution: Wicked Colors are often ready for use with a 0.5mm airbrush tip. For smaller tips (0.3mm or finer) or for specific effects, dilution may be necessary. Use Createx 4011 Reducer or distilled water for thinning. Start with a 10% dilution and adjust as needed.
3. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or other contaminants. For optimal adhesion on non-porous surfaces, light sanding or a suitable primer may be beneficial.

5. Operating Instructions

Apply Wicked Colors using an airbrush. The paint is designed for smooth flow and excellent coverage.

• Air Pressure: Recommended air pressure typically ranges from 20-40 PSI, depending on the airbrush, nozzle size, and desired effect. Experiment to find the optimal pressure for your setup.
• Application: Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry to the touch before applying the next. Multiple thin coats will provide better results and durability than one thick coat.
• Drying Time: Wicked Colors are fast-drying. Touch dry time is typically within minutes, but full cure time can vary depending on humidity, temperature, and film thickness.
• Curing: For maximum durability and water resistance, allow the paint to fully cure. This can take 24-48 hours at room temperature. Heat curing (e.g., with a heat gun or oven, if applicable to the substrate) can accelerate the process.

6. Maintenance and Storage

• Cleaning Airbrush: Immediately after use, clean your airbrush thoroughly with Createx Airbrush Cleaner or warm water. Do not allow paint to dry inside the airbrush, as this can lead to clogging.
• Bottle Care: Ensure the bottle cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent the paint from drying out.
• Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not allow paint to freeze.
