This U.S. Navy OCEAN GRAY 5-O Tru-Color Paint is a high-quality solvent-based acrylic paint specifically mixed for airbrush application. Designed for precise, smooth finishes, it is ideal for modelers and professionals seeking authentic historical color accuracy.

Compared to standard model paints, this Tru-Color formulation is thinner, making it strictly airbrush-ready and unsuitable for brush painting. It offers superior pigment suspension but may require rejuvenation over time since the thinner component can evaporate from the soft plastic bottle. When compared to prior models or industry standards, this paint is prized for its authentic US Navy color match from 1939-1941 and its compatibility with primers for metal and plastics alike.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

This paint leverages advanced solvent-based acrylic technology, providing excellent flow and adhesion on various surfaces. Its thinner consistency ensures smooth, fine mist spraying for flawless coverage. The level of pigmentation allows for vibrant, historically accurate color while maintaining ease of cleanup with acetone. Additionally, the glossy finish sets it apart by enabling seamless decal application after drying. The option to refresh the paint’s viscosity using Tru-Color's Rejuvenator or Thinner ensures long-term usability for hobbyists and professionals alike.
