Hi all,
I'm thinkinf of buying Createx Pearl Acryllic paints to do azteking and this sort of things. But I have no experience with this brand...
Someone knows something??, are they OK for modeling??
thanks in advance

Createx are made primarily for tee-shirt art and in my experience are a bit of trouble to work with on plastic.
First, they are what you might call soft. Even after several days of curing I could still wipe the paint off the plastic. A primer coat helped but they still damaged easily.
A liberal coating of Future and several more days of curing fixed the softness issue.
Why might you want to use such a troublesome paint? Well they've got some awfully cool colors.

i've had the same trouble with them not curing very 'hard' and not adhereing well to plastic. Createx also makes another line (autoair IIRC) thats made for plastic/metal, never tried them personally though

I have just try out two lines of Createx paint: the classic one (general use) and Auto Air (for cars, helmets etc..). I ordered model Air (for modeling) but the shop send me the Auto air... I supose there is no much difference...
I ordered pearlescent white.
IT WORKS GREAT !!!
Ok, it needs a little bit more to get dry, but you can use a heating lamps or something...
Soluble in water, DO NOT USE ALCOHOL to dilute or clean the airbrush. It creates a coagulation that mess up everything... only water.
I can highly recomend it.

The adhering is it joke. My custom paintwork on an RC boat hull was destroyed by Auto Air. It peels off together with the tape AFTER clearing coating.
Marcal, I wish I am as successful as you using the Auto-air. They do have some fantastic farben. But I uses paint machen im Deutschland only.
Damn, should go back to my German study!
