Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

Tru-Color Paint’s solvent-based acrylic formula is thinned with Acetone, providing excellent sprayability and rapid drying times. The paint dries to a glossy finish that is perfect for decal application, enhancing model authenticity. Over time, the pigment remains stable in the soft plastic bottle, and any evaporation of the thinner media can be reversed using Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner, ensuring consistent performance. As a special order item, this paint is carefully prepared and shipped within 4-8 days to maintain quality and availability.
