When mixed, it helps the paint flow more evenly, reduces surface tension, and encourages a smooth, balanced laydown across edges and contours. The result is a clearer, more uniform film that stays true to your base colors while adding a layer of protection as it dries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as both a flow enhancer and adhesion promoter, 4030 Intercoat supports heavier applications without cratering and can improve bonding to common substrates like plastics, models, vinyl, rubber, and resin kits. It creates an acrylic-urethane balance that strengthens the coating after air drying, bringing improved scratch resistance compared with air drying alone—without changing the color you’ve laid down.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey details to know before you spray or brush: it is water-based, meets ASTM D-4236, and is proudly made in the U.S.A. You can mix 4030 Intercoat into Createx Colors paints in any ratio from 10% to 30% by volume, depending on your project goals and spray conditions. It remains compatible with Auto Air Colors, Createx Airbrush Colors, Wicked Colors, and Createx Illustration Colors, making it a versatile addition to many color sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlow enhancement and smoother leveling for a balanced coat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbility to apply heavier coats without cratering due to surface tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdhesion promotion to plastics, models, resin kits, vinyl, rubber, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnhanced durability after air drying through an acrylic-urethane balance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater-based, non-catalyzed clear that stays compatible with Createx Colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eASTM D-4236 compliant and proudly made in the U.S.A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePractical uses and expert tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for hobbyists painting models, toys, and small plastic parts where a smooth flow matters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpray or brush across contours and edges to minimize streaks and cratering when layering color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExperiment with 10–30% by volume to tune glide, adhesion, and film strength for your technique\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest on a scrap piece before committing to final work to gauge gloss and surface feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What is 4030 Intercoat used for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: A water-soluble clear additive that enhances flow, leveling, adhesion, and durability when mixed with Createx Colors paints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How should I mix 4030 Intercoat?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Mix 10–30% by volume with your chosen Createx Colors paint to balance flow and build durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Createx","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42466090549333,"sku":"B018N98N2G","price":31.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0632\/3270\/4597\/files\/createx-colors-4030-intercoat-bottle-pour.jpg?v=1778036903","url":"https:\/\/plentytorque.co.uk\/products\/createx-colors-4030-intercoat-mix-additive-8oz","provider":"PlentyTorque","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
