U.S. Navy DULL BLACK No. 82 1-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

This Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic paint specifically formulated for airbrushing applications. It provides an authentic U.S. Navy dull black color with excellent compatibility on various surfaces when properly primed.

• Solvent-based acrylic paint thinned with Acetone and other media
• Comes in a 1-ounce bottle, ready to use for airbrushing
• Dull Black No. 82 pigmentation for realistic finishes
• Dries to a glossy finish except for flat or matte colors
• Requires ventilation when spraying and cleans up easily with Acetone

Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color Paint sets itself apart by offering a paint that is specifically thinned for airbrush use, unlike many thicker acrylics that require additional thinning. While it is too thin for brush painting, its formulation ensures smooth and precise spray applications that replicate authentic U.S. Navy finishes. The paint is also designed to adhere well when used with appropriate primers on metal and plastics, enhancing durability and finish quality.

Over time, some of the thinner media in the soft plastic bottles may evaporate, but the pigment stays intact and can be revived using Tru-Color’s “Rejuvenator” or Thinner. This advantage keeps the paint fresh and usable even after storage, maintaining consistent performance for modelers and hobbyists.
