Compared to traditional acrylic paints, this Tru-Color metallic paint stands out due to its finely suspended metallic flakes that create a realistic prototype look, unlike flat or matte finishes commonly found. Its formulation is much thinner than standard brush paints, requiring airbrush application for optimal results. Additionally, the solvent base ensures fast drying and long-lasting adhesion when properly primed, meeting and exceeding industry standards for model paints.

The key technical advantages of this product lie in its specialized technology and superior performance. The solvent-based acrylic formula, thinned with acetone and other media, ensures ease of flow and excellent sprayability without clogging the airbrush. Its metallic scale bits simulate authentic prototype paint finishes, while the glossy finish is perfect for subsequent decal application. The paint requires ventilation when spraying and is easily cleaned with inexpensive acetone. Over time, the thinner medium may evaporate, but the pigment can be refreshed using Tru-Color's special Rejuvenator or Thinner, extending the life and usability of your paint supply.
