4003 Auto Air Reducer
Reducer is intended for
thinning Auto Air Colors for use with smaller sized airbrushes. Although water
may be used up to 10% to thin Auto Air Colors, Reducer is recommended because
it adds binder to the colors as it thins them so the color’s binder load
will not be washed out and the adhesive properties of the colors will not be
lost. When thinning Auto Air 4600 Series Candy Colors, use Auto Air Transparent
Extender. |

Transparent Extender
Transparent Extender is the
binder base for all Auto Air Colors except for 4100 Series and 4200 Series
Detail and Semi-Opaque Colors. Transparent Extender may be added to colors to
increase transparency, allowing colors to have lighter values. Add in small
increments. May be added up to 25% of the mixture, after that the colors tend
to wash out as the pigment load is spread out. Not to be used with Auto Air
4200 Series Detail Colors. |

4005 Opaque
Extender
Opaque Extender is the
binder base for the 4200 Series Semi-Opaque Colors. Opaque Extender may be
added to color to increase opacity. Opaque Extender may increase the viscosity
of the color and is not recommended for use with smaller airbrushes and fine
detail work. Opaque Extender may be added up to 25% of the mixture, after that
the colors tend to wash out as the pigment load is spread out. Opaque Extender
should not be used with Auto Air 4200 Series Detail Colors nor should it be
used with 4300, 4400, 4500, and 4600 Auto Air Series. |

4006 Auto Air Catalyst
Catalyst is a specialty
additive that is often not necessary. It is designed to accelerate the
cross-linking process of the binder when the area worked on is too large for
curing with heat or in cold or damp conditions. Catalyst should be added in 2-3
drops per ounce and thoroughly mixed with the color. |

4007 Auto Air
Cleaner

Series 4100 Aluminum
Base
Aluminum Bases are available
in three grades: Fine, Medium and Coarse. They are highly reflective and
intended for use as an undercoat for the 4600 Series Candy Colors. Aluminum
Bases may also be used alone for an aluminum-like, reflective finish or as an
undercoat for Series 4200 Transparent Colors for reflective, custom effects.
Use of the different grades against one another with a Candy Color top
application create fantastic effects.
Aluminum Bases are
recommended for use with airbrush sizes 0.5mm or larger. A 0.3mm size airbrush
may be used when thinned with Auto Air Reducer. Aluminum Bases cover quickly
and often only 1 coat is needed. Apply Aluminum Base over a coat of Base Coat
Sealer Dark to ensure the that they adhere properly to the surface. The 4000
Series Base Coat Sealers have better adhesion than the 4100 Series Aluminum
Bases. Aluminum Bases are made with heavy metallic flakes and may require
stirring in addition to thorough shaking prior to use.
