I appreciate the input... You provided better answers than calling createx customer service.

You are welcome. I’ve probably been in this business longer than anybody in their customer service department. I mean the coatings business. Spraying any coating is about atomizing it properly. And that requires the correct amount of product and air mixture at the tip. Too much product and it goes on lumpy or tries to run off on the floor. Too much air pressure and it goes on dry and creates a huge amount of overspray. You just have to practice until you find the right mix.

Here’s the response from createx.

“The Flair Teal /Purple is fairly concentrate.  Extend it with 4030 Balancing Clear, perhaps equal parts or slightly more paint: Teal / Purple 3:2 4030.  Reduce this mix 10 - 20% 4012.  Make this reduction mix in a separate mix cup, not in airbrush cup.  mix thoroughly and let sit 10+  minutes prior to spraying.  The color is best with a 0.5mm tip-size, however with over-reduction you can shoot it through a 0.3mm tip.  In addition to the 4030, you could add 4004 Transparent Base to the mix.  Essentially, Teal / Purple has enough of the pigment in it to make 3 or 4x the color.  The good news is its a really decent price on an expensive pigment, however it needs to be worked.  Please let us know if we may be of further service. https://autoaircolors.com/custom-automotive-paint/4030.html

did a couple of these warts last year but sold them both, found these 2 hiding in the shop that I had stashed away that still needed a top coat. This time I added micro orange flake on the orange one  but it doesn't show very well in the photo

They aren't wrong, but it's going to make it fairly transparent. That's why it works better over a darker base. Over a dark base you get a more noticeable color change.
