I'd heard of some folks doing this and this video covers the process. Super easy no mixing of thinners or additives, Hope to try this soon.

I brush it on with a cheapo hobby brush and then toss it)


I saw a video where they said this stuff was a suitable replacement for the Pledge:

It is not! Don’t waste your time and money on this stuff. It'll gum up your airbrush terribly. 


  • thanks for the input! — dr_dodge
  • Yeah, I saw that somewhere on the Internet and decided it was worth even trying. Yeah, sorry to have created a bogus post here, but it sounded like such a great thing but basically I’m back to using Createx 4050 gloss or matte 5622. And for those of you who are using createx - their new 4021 reducer is definitely worth purchasing upgrading to as your primary reducer. Works great. If you want to try your luck at color shifting paints a good place to start is Vallejo space dust and it works best if you use their own airbrush flow improver. They recommend using water as a thinner, but do not do that that is only for brushing.If you use water with an air brush. If you use water with a airbrush, most of the reflective particles will sink out a solution. — AbbyNormal
