This metallic paint stands out from industry standards as it replicates the authentic prototype metallic paint with its fine scale flakes and vibrant candy apple red hue. Unlike traditional gloss paints, it is too thin for brush painting and requires airbrush application, offering a smooth, professional finish. Its solvent base and acetone thinning provide superior flow and adhesion compared to water-based paints.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The paint delivers realistic metallic effects with its embedded scale flakes for enhanced depth and shine. Its solvent-based acrylic formula ensures excellent durability and compatibility with primers, while the glossy finish is ideal for applying decals directly. Additionally, the product’s pigment does not evaporate over time, allowing the paint to be rejuvenated with Tru-Color’s proprietary Rejuvenator or Thinner, maintaining consistent performance and longevity for modelers seeking high-quality finishes.
