Quoted from DropTarget:Ok, I just got off of the phone with Dennis, the owner of Createx. He told me that all of their paints are translucent, at least to some degree. He told me that the Wicked line has enough pigment to become opaque if you lay down enough coats. Usually 5-7 or so thin coats should work, less if you're heavy handed.
He also said that he does not recommend using heat to set any of their paints, but of course he's coming from a chemists point of view. Obviously Vid1900 has had great results. He stated that using heat could plasticize the paint, especially if the substrate is cold. He recommended heating the substrate in a warm room, or using lamps before painting and then setting the paint with air.
As a bit of FYI info (redundant?), I asked if they had a Cyan or Magenta, as that would make mixing colors easier (yes, I know the limitations of RGB vs CMYK). He mentioned that they are working on it and he actually has a Cyan siting in his office, so I'm guessing that they will be expanding their pallet in the near future.
