Day one in the airbrush house

I'm sure someone will correct me if I explain wrongly. But candy instead of pigments is analine dyes that you mix with intercoats or clear bases. The dyes will get gradually darker with every coat you spray on till almost black in color

even if you use candy yellow for example?
But I think you right about dyes. Seems I heard that before on this forum.
 
From the Createx colors website
Candy2o:
100% transparent, water-based color made with aniline dyes.
  • Concentrated: add 4030 balancing clear to candy2o then thin with 4011 or 4012
  • Stop dyes from leaching (bleeding) into top-coated colors by applying 4040 Bleed checker over candy2o.
Many users have problems with the 4030 balancing clear. in which case 5090 Illustration transparent base is an acceptable substitute

If you undecided which brand of candy to use, here is the TDS for the Candy20 from AutoAir

Absolutely correct. That is as good a description of Candy paint as you can get.

Bang on info from Ms Jackie too. Best place to purchase Createx in the U.K. would be either www.smdesigns.co.uk or www.airbrushes.com. Another option in the U.K. would be Inspire Airbrush Paint from www.specialistpaints.com. The Inspire range are Solvent based rather than water, so may not be your preferred option. But they can be used with Createx without any problems, I’m not sure about use on Lexan though, but I’d guess it would be a simple Google exercise.

Failed at getting Stencils to work on the rc body again

So tried them on paper and had no issues (ignore the bleed or exrsa liens etc I was having a play)

More, much more practise needed

Don't worry about it. You will fail few more times like everyone did and you will get lessons needed :cool: I use spray tack on mine stencils, but I do t-shirts. If I hold them with my hand it's difficult for me.
 
My next question is how do I fade from one colour to another? For example if I brush blue on the "hood" and want purple on the sides, how's best to acheieve this?

Np for the links.

Spray tack which I use is easy removable. I don't know the one you linked. I use:
https://www.grafco.it/en/products.html#!/articoli/63-spray-tack-max

Spray Tack Max
adhesive studied for the carousel machinery printing with the following special features

This adhesive show strongh initial adhesion property and when is applied on a pallet show in long run production a long open-time adhesion print after print so you can reduce a lot the shot of adhesives during production. High strongh adhesion property with IR flash units. We developped this adhesive for printings on synthetic and cotton fabrics and hairy fabrics.

edit: the one you linked is high strong bond, you won't be able to remove your stencil :D
