I think all the new kits do come with W500 , the older kits came with W100I love Wicked paints, and the trans (detail) colours really pop after clearing, perfect for painting on bikes, although I use them on everything. I don't find the need to add any trans base, but then I use .35 at around 20 -25 psi. I don't know what reducer your set came with, but for automotive I really recommend the w500. Hope you like em, how did those flames turn out?
They do indeed come with w 500. Just bought a set. Going to get trans base and a few detail bottles... Although i do worry over the age of the single bottles ive seen.I think all the new kits do come with W500 , the older kits came with W100
there use to be a thread a while ago that shows the difference between the paints, I'll see if i can find it. as a side note, I started with both the wicked (detail) and the illustration range. I find the illustration flows better for me in a Iwata HP+ .2mm brush with the High Performance reducer. I will continue to use up the wicked detail but once its gone I probably wont bother buying it again. and yes @Greg Geilman, you will use a lot more reducer than paint... I remember seeing a post about painting a portrait 'with only 6 drops of paint' and I remember thinking WOW ! I now realise that it was probably 6 drops of paint and about 3 litres of reducer LOL...As a relative newbie on the paints thing, [ I started out with inks ] I'm curious to know what the difference is between the wicked [ regular ] and the detail {or is that Illustrator?} lines.
I can get them from Airbrush Australia for a reasonable price, but before I spend the money, I'd like to know what the general consensus on it is.
You have to remember, Greg, that you're talking drops at a time here, and not litres - like house paint - so it's going to last a while.I picked up the same set but have yet to try it. My question is if you reduce 4-5:1 and it comes with 1 bottle of reducer to 5 bottles of paint, this isn't going to compute well! Have more on order though!
I can not understand their logic with this either. You will always use more reducer so why not include more in the set. You will have to get some more. At least another 4oz bottle.I picked up the same set but have yet to try it.
