Default paint Q's

so i am looking for a paint that i can use on my lexan bodies and then use it on metal. i am looking to start doing to graphic work on metal.

was thinking about createx but i have heard that it isnt that good for metal. is auto air color and wicked colors the same as createx? i know that it is made by the same company but is there any difference in the quality?

Createx will work great on metal. Also, Createx makes Auto Air. I did not know this until recently. I went to buy Auto Air, and now it reads "Auto Air by Createx". Of course you will have to clear the Createx or Auto Air on the metal because it will dry flat. I used Createx to flame a 51' Ford and it worked great! If you have any other questions, I am just in Estacada.

Also, I have not noticed any difference in quality. Auto Air sometimes has some better colors, but it is virtually the same stuff.
