Golden Fluid Acrylics question

thecollector80 · 03-13-2014, 03:55 PM

are these good to use on statues? i ordered some and the golden airbrush medium and plan on using them for my resin kits. i think they are used on fabric so i want to make sure they're not tacky like createx. i use the golden airbrush colors and vallejo for my statues but first time with the fluid acrylics. still coming in the mail. thanks.

golden changed some things, they had a Line called Airbrush Opaques but now changed them to hi flow which is more of a Ink then a acrylic paint. Very watery and did a video on it.

if you got the thicker paints, have to thin them down and then can prob go thru a airbrush. but i never used the thicker ones.

I was using the airbrush acrylics a lot, then with the change to the new hi flow i don't use them anymore.

But i never had a issue with the airbrush opaque, they went on smooth and was no where as thick like createx

thanks. i saw your video so that's why i stayed away from the hi-flow. i only have the transparent golden airbrush bottles left so i ordered the fluid acrylics but later saw it was also used on fabric and the airbrush medium says "makes fluid acrylics less tacky." they were $9 a bottle and don't want paint that attracts dust while curing like createx. well, i guess i need to see for myself.

createx you have to heat set, so when ever you paint a item with it, just hit it with a blow dryer for a bit. Don't over heat it, but get it heated up and move around the item like blow drying your hair or something.

Will set better then sitting there for days to cure.
