The important info...
- Createx Airbrush Colors: Designed primarily for textile / craft purposes
0.5mm tip-sized airbrush - 40-50psi
- Wicked Colors: Multi surface and art work
0.5mm - 35+ psi no reduction
0.3mm - 25 -35 psi .Dilute 10% with 4011 or 4012
- Wicked Detail: Multi surface and artwork. finer pigment but greater pigment load than 'wicked'
.5 and .3 as above for ‘wicked’
0.18mm - low psi (<25psi) Wicked Detail Colors diluted 4011 or 4012 low psi settings.
Generally, the smaller the tip size, the lower the psi, the more 4011 or 4012 is added to paint.
Pearls and metallic are recommended to be used with a Spray-Gun - 1.3mm tip-size & dilute 4011
Don't feel bad, there are a few of us here who also bought 'airbrush colors' thinking that was what was needed, only to find out we were wrong. Find some plain tshirts and paint them up as gifts, buy some lengths of material and create a mural type piece for a childs bedroom, its all good practise and you wont waste the paint.
I'd suggest going with Createx Wicked or Createx Wicked Detail,
add these to your shopping list if you do get the Createx Wicked
TRANSPARENT BASE: 4004
Colorless resin base to Wicked Colors. Works as extender to colors for increased transparency without thinning the consistency of the paint, its essentially colorless paint.
REDUCER:
4011 if your temperatures get above 80F (27C )(or low humidity)
OR 4012 for between 60-80F (16-27C)
OR 4020: use with 4011 - 4012 - be aware the 4020 contains Acetone, so wearing a mask is highly recommended
RESTORER:
4008 for deep cleaning of your airbrush. put into a sealable pot its reusable so don't dump it after a clean.
There are many other paint option out there but I have no experience with them so you will have to wait for someone else to give you their experience
As you have prior experience with painting the RC bodies I wont go into the prep required
