Grrr, I thought that this paint was Opaque >:(

Ok now I've been using Createx air brush paints for my customs lately and all of them say 'Opaque' on the bottle.. however when it comes to actually using a paint brush with them, they don't act like opaque paint :( at least not for certain things.

I'm trying to finish my belated 4th of July custom and while I got the blue to cooperate (sort of) the red stripes are not working so well even on top of white, I get some dark areas from the paint and some lighter areas...

So do you guys have suggestions, I'm afraid to mix even a little bit of white because... well then that will turn pink and that won't work XD
My DeviantArt, why not drop by and take a look!

Their pearlized paints seem to be pretty opaque.. but with the others I have to lay down a layer of something else, then paint on top of it.
