Using this Createx airbrush transparent acrylic paint is easy. First, make sure your base is white, grey, or black. Then, you can start applying the paint. The water - based formula allows for smooth application. When you're done painting, let it dry and it will have a nice semi - gloss look. Remember, since it's semi - opaque, you might need a few coats for full coverage. To clean your tools, just use water because it's water - based. Store the paint in a cool, dry place to keep it in good condition.
