@shadow0imposter Well if you are just starting out, I'd suggest spraying on a different piece of metal that doesn't have a coating you are trying to protect. Get some practice on that thing using Wicked paint if you want (made by createx). But if you can use automotive paint, I'd go with that. Wicked is reduced with the wicked reducer or the auto air reducer. As for the finish, that's an additive that you put in a clear coat, but it's a bit more complicated than that. Send me a message.

what do you use to thin autoair?

[tophatpainter]

@ansiaaa666 Some people use water, which I have, but it isn't advisable for auto work. I use their 4011 or 4010 reducers. 4011 fast, 4010 medium. Temperature and how wet I want the paint depend on which one I use. These same reducers can be used with the Wicked lines as well.

@tophatpainter I found that reducer on the autocolor website but I wanted to know if it was really a better choice instead of water. you just gave the answer I needed.

thanks for the information and for the videos you upload!

@ansiaaa666 Hey, always glad to help! Look at Coast Airbrush for good deals on that stuff. Also, check out the airbrush forum (add the dot com to that) some people have made some custom mixes that seem to work really well.

@MultiAirbrusher yeah you are right... I've tried many alternatives, but the best still is to get a reducer made by the same brand of colors used

You can and get not same result like reducer/Reducer have oil,some to get autoair stronger in reducer and som binders.

Soo you have no alternativ and get much better paint flow and end up result whit reducer.

Reducer is not like water and som chip tricks.
