Painting substrates - Aluminium composite panels, car shapes & airbrush paper
The right painting surface is crucial for a perfect airbrush result. Whether for practice purposes, professional demonstrations, or high-resolution illustrations – at Createx, you will find a wide selection of aluminium composite panels, car shapes, and special airbrush paper that are tailored to the specific requirements of airbrush techniques. All materials offer ideal adhesion, shape stability, and an optimal surface for colour gradients and fine details.
Why high-quality painting surfaces are important in airbrushing
Every airbrush paint reacts differently to the material used. Only with a suitable base can you fully exploit the potential of your colours - from opacity and adhesion to realistic effects and smooth gradients. Our painting bases are ready to use immediately, warp-free, and provide you with the necessary security when creating.
Aluminium composite panels for airbrush
Aluminium composite panels (also known as Alu-Dibond) are characterised by their extreme stability, dimensional accuracy, and durability. The smooth, scratch-resistant surface ensures excellent colour adhesion – even with demanding designs and fine details. They are ideal for professional work, presentations, and long-lasting applications.
Advantages of aluminium composite panels:
Extremely stable, distortion-free and durable
Scratch-resistant surface for long-lasting brilliant colours
Excellent adhesion for Createx and other airbrush paints
Ideal for exhibitions, art projects and mixed media applications
Car Shapes - three-dimensional shapes for paint tests and presentations
Car Shapes are 3D forms that are modelled after typical vehicle parts - from sporty coupes to classic bodies. They are specifically designed for effect paints and colour tests, simulating realistic lighting conditions and surface textures. Perfect for showrooms, training, or customer presentations.
Advantages of Car Shapes:
Realistic lacquer representation on three-dimensional forms
Directly paintable - no pre-treatment necessary
Ideal for workshops, training materials and effect colours
Available in various vehicle shapes and sizes
Airbrush Paper - for precise lines and soft gradients
Airbrush paper has been specifically developed for the requirements of fine airbrush work. It features a special coating that allows for even colour absorption while preventing running or bleeding. The surface is smooth and is ideal for illustrations, sketches, and design studies.
Advantages of airbrush paper:
Special surface treatment for controlled colour gradients
Clean line management without bleeding
Suitable for all airbrush paints – especially Createx
Optimal for exercises, illustrations and studies
Advantages of our substrates
Excellent colour adhesion and detail fidelity
High shape stability, even in moisture
Suitable for Createx colours and all common airbrush brands
Versatile in use: from art to advertising to training and demos
Ready for immediate use - no pre-treatment necessary
