COPPER 1-oz Bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The COPPER 1-oz bottle of Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic paint specifically formulated to be airbrush-ready. It features a pigment thinned with acetone and other media, offering smooth application through an airbrush system.

• Volume: 1 ounce
• Base: Solvent-based acrylic with acetone thinner
• Finish: Glossy when not flat or matte, suitable for decal application
• Cleanup: Acetone for easy removal
• Packaging: Soft plastic bottle with longevity aided by Tru-Color Rejuvenator or Thinner

Compared to standard acrylic paints, this Tru-Color paint provides a thinner consistency ideal for detailed airbrush work but is not suitable for traditional brush painting due to its thinness. It dries to a glossy finish that enhances decals, making it a premium choice for scale models and hobby projects requiring precision and a professional look. Proper ventilation is required during use, consistent with industry safety standards.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The paint's formulation with acetone ensures quick drying and easy cleanup, while the airbrush-ready thinning optimizes spray performance for fine detail. Its packaging in a soft plastic bottle allows some evaporation of thinner over time, but the pigment can be revived using Tru-Color's Rejuvenator or Thinner for extended usability. The gloss finish surface is perfectly primed for decals, providing a smooth, durable layer on metals and plastics when properly primed. This product stands out for its convenience, professional-grade finish, and adaptability to airbrush techniques, meeting and exceeding common hobbyist expectations.
