Use of primer is recommended, especially on metal and plastics, enhancing paint adhesion and durability.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

This solvent-based acrylic paint achieves superior results through its acetone-thinned formula, delivering a responsive and controlled airbrush experience. The packaging in soft plastic bottles helps preserve pigment life; however, any evaporation from the thinner can be remedied with Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner, maintaining paint consistency over time. The special order nature ensures paint freshness and availability for dedicated modelers requiring historically accurate freight car red coloring from the 1945-1960s period.
