The pigment in this paint remains stable over time, even if some of the thinner evaporates due to soft plastic packaging. Unlike other paints that become unusable, the pigment can be rejuvenated with Tru-Color’s special “Rejuvenator” or standard thinner, restoring the paint’s performance. The solvent base combined with acetone thinning allows for quick drying and easy cleanup, making it a favorite among skilled modelers and hobbyists focused on precision.
