Unlike many other model paints, this Tru-Color Paint is specifically designed for airbrush application and is too thin for direct brush painting. It adheres well to primed metals and plastics, with primer recommended for best results. Over time, some thinner in the soft plastic bottle may evaporate, but the pigment remains intact and can be revived with Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner.

Compared to industry standards, this 1929-1941 U.S. Navy INSIGNIA RED Tru-Color Paint offers superior color accuracy for historic naval models like the U.S.S. Yorktown. While many hobby paints dry flat or matte, this paint’s glossy finish enhances the realism of your work and prepares the surface perfectly for decals. Shipping is via special order only, placing orders early Monday morning guarantees delivery in 4-8 days.
