Createx Wicked Detail Colors

For details, glazes, and controlled transitions

Compared to regular Wicked Colors, Wicked Detail Colors are more transparent, less viscous, and formulated for better flow at lower pressures. This makes them particularly suitable for fine lines, soft shading, glazes, color gradients, and precise detail work.

This is exactly where their strength lies: they combine the fine control of a detail paint with the robustness of the Wicked system. This is a clear advantage for custom painting, illustration, model making, helmet designs, tank painting, or other demanding airbrush projects.

Efficient, flexible, and selectively reducible

The special strength of Wicked Detail Colors lies in their efficiency and thinability. The colors work straight out of the bottle with nozzle systems around 0.3 / 0.35 mm, but can be very specifically adapted to smaller nozzle sizes, lower operating pressures, and finer techniques with Createx 4021 Reducer.

Those who want to work even more transparently can reduce the paint further or extend it with Transparent Base. This creates clean, thin layers of color that allow for particularly controlled implementation of details, shading, and multi-stage color build-ups.

Robust Wicked system for custom painting and hard surfaces

Despite their detail performance, Wicked Detail Colors remain a true part of the robust Wicked family. Createx relies on lightfast pigments and a resin system designed for indoor and outdoor applications.

This makes the paints suitable not only for classic airbrush work on paper or canvas, but also for more demanding applications on plastic, wood, hard surfaces, and automotive projects. This is particularly important in custom painting, where many surfaces are non-absorbent and good adhesion as well as a clean system structure are crucial.

Proper application for hard surfaces and automotive

For non-absorbent surfaces, helmet designs, tanks, model making, plastic parts, or other hard-surface projects, Wicked Detail Colors work exceptionally well within the matching Createx system. Depending on the application, 4030 Balancing Clear or 4050 UVLS Clear can be used as system partners to improve adhesion, flow, and durability.

The colors are compatible with common primers, paints, and clear coat systems. For automotive builds, Createx recommends a standard 2K clear coat as a final finish. The paint should flash off sufficiently and dry completely before clear coating.

Matte finish for better control

Another advantage of Wicked Detail Colors is their matte drying behavior. This makes it easier to judge tonal values, contrasts, and transitions while working compared to highly glossy surfaces. This is a real advantage for illustrations, portraits, real-fire techniques, shading, and fine transitions.

Drying and post-processing

At approx. 21 °C and 50% humidity, Wicked Detail Colors can be processed further after a short time. In practice, drying always depends on layer thickness, reduction, humidity, temperature, and air circulation.

Available container sizes

Wicked Detail Colors are available as standard in several container sizes. This makes them suitable for both individual projects and regular workshop and custom painting applications.

• 60 ml – ideal for testing, individual projects, and smaller jobs
• 480 ml – sensible for regular use and larger projects
  
• 940 ml – for workshop needs and frequently used colors
  
• 3.7 l – large container for professional users and high consumption
  

We are happy to order container sizes larger than 60 ml upon request. If you regularly work with certain shades, asking for larger quantities is especially worthwhile.
