Painting surfaces: Aluminum composite panels, Car Shapes & Airbrush Paper

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

Who is it suitable for?

Our painting surfaces are ideal for:

• Airbrush artist: For detailed illustrations or realistic representations
• Custom Painter: For Testing and Presentation of Effect Coatings
• Advertising technician: For prototypes, sample boards or shop window decoration
• Beginners & Advanced: For Practising, Learning and Experimenting
• Colour Manufacturer & Trainer: For Colour Charts, Workshops and Demonstrations
