MonteSS Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Will a very fine flake added to standard transparent Createx spray through a Iwata HP-CS gun? Or if not maybe House of color Shimirin? ty Edited January 26, 2017 by MonteSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I think you should contact the paint manuf. and ask them what their particle size is. Or just do a test shoot, and be ready to break down and clean your air brush if it doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 I was thinking the ultrafine glitter Michaels has in a transparent color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayburnGuy Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Personally I'd be leery of shooting flake through and airbrush because of the nozzle size. If your using an airbrush with a .3 or .35 nozzle it would take an awful small flake to pass through. Some pearls won't even shoot well through an airbrush. HVLP guns are much better suited to shooting flake than an airbrush because they have a much larger nozzle. Something in the range of 1 to 1.2 if the memory is working today. When only doing a few baits most of us either mix the flake in the top coat and brush it on or sprinkle it on right after applying an inner clear while it's still wet and then clear coating over that once the inner coat is cured. When using flake I spray a fairly heavy coat of Createx clear on the bait and then sprinkle the flake on. Once the flake is on I hit the bait with a heat source to dry the Createx clear. Then it's just a matter of applying the top coat. Ben 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
