Spectra Tex paint ?

Anyone use it ? Reading the label it looks like it has to be heat set (similar to createx)

Airbrush paint seems to be getting harder to find locally. My closest Ac moore was pretty much wiped out and Michaels only had a minimal selection of spectra tex. I picked up a couple of bottles to try but was curious if anyone's used it and had any problems ?

I would think it will be fine. Rockfish, Joe, uses the cheapest paint he can find and does fine with it. I have used all kinds of stuff I have found at Michael's and AC Moore and had no issues plus you are putting a clear coat of some kind over it. Just use light coats and dry with a hair drier in between coats, like I do with Createx too, and you should be fine. If you want to keep using Createx I would buy it from Dixie Art or Bear Air though as it will be cheaper and every color you want.
