Createx™ Auto-Air Auto-Borne Colors™ perform unlike any other Auto-Air Colours. Unlike other colours that are water-based, Auto-Borne Colours are waterborne meaning the colours contain solvent for exceptional performance.
Auto-Borne have virtually no tip-dry, superior control - able to pull long and continuous lines without skipping or grainy over-spray, work with all airbrush tip sizes and dry incredibly fast. Auto-Borne Colours are lightfast and durable. Pigments are highly refined and lightfast for superior atomisation, without fading. All Auto-Borne Colour pigments are exterior-grade with a 7 to 8 out of 8 on a Blue Wool Scale (BWS).
The image featured below is a painting, airbrushed by artist Stuart Forster (of The Airbrush Company) using the new Auto-Borne colours. This was painted onto the leg shield of a Lambretta scooter.

- Auto-Borne is compatible with other Auto-Air Colours and may be inter-coated in any manner. Direct inter-mixing is not recommended.
- Spray gun PSI is recommended at 35 with a 1.2mm size tip.
- Top-coat with a catalysed, urethane clear.
- Auto-Borne colours are semi-opaque but may be reduced down to a transparent colour that is better suited for detailed, fine-line airbrushing with small tip-sized airbrushes.
- Auto-Borne Follows preparation and application processes the same as other Auto-Air Colours.
