Have any of you had any problems with transparent createx colors not completely drying? I'm spraying it over a pearl white background and the transparent colors seem to almost bead up on top of it. This is the first time I have seen this. I have sprayed pearls on pearls and opaques on pearls without any problems.

slime,
i've had some problems like that, but mine have been caused by spraying to heavy of coats. with the transparents it will take several light coats before it covers. if you try to get it to cover in to few of coats it seems to have problems with drying.

so try spraying less paint in each coat, hit it with a heat gun lightly to help dry in between coats, and do more coats total to get he level of coverage you want.

Add transparent base to the paint, not sure why it works but it does. I use candy colors and greens do that also.
