cheap acrylics versus Createx

Recommended Posts

cermacoat works fine but you will have to play with thinning to get the right consistency for painting. I personally don't use much c-tex because it is too thick. I use golden and com-art paints and I can spray at 15psi without any problems. I do use a cheap craft paint (metallic pearl white) as my base coat and thin it with windex.

I use mostly non-AB acrylics including Folkart, Plaid and Apple Barrel. They have larger particles than Createx but I haven't had inordinate problems with clogging or any noticable damage of Paasche VL parts when thinned properly with plain water. I set them with a hair dryer. Besides the 88 cent cost, I like the wide array of hues including some nice metallics. I haven't had good luck with Delta Ceramcoat. Does it have an additive designed for being fired on pottery? Dunno. My bottom line is find colors you like, then adapt them work. About the only Createx colors I like are the pearl white and the metallic blue. Every maker has different color tastes and that's a good thing.
