U.S. Navy OCEAN GRAY 5-O (1939-1941) 2-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint SPECIAL ORDER ONLY

This U.S. Navy Ocean Gray 5-O Tru-Color paint comes in a convenient 2-ounce bottle specially formulated for airbrush use. This solvent-based acrylic paint is thinned with acetone and other media to ensure smooth, even coverage when applied with an airbrush, making it ideal for precision modeling and detailing.

• Solvent-based acrylic paint with pigment thinned by acetone
• 2-ounce bottle, perfect for specialized use
• Ready for airbrushing; too thin for brush application
• Dries to a glossy finish (unless flat or matte) suitable for decal application
• Requires proper ventilation during spraying and acetone for cleanup

Compared to other model paints, this Ocean Gray 5-O color matches the exact shade used by the U.S. Navy during the 1939-1941 period, providing historical accuracy that is often unmatched in standard hobby paints. Its airbrush-ready consistency differentiates it from thicker paints that require thinning before use, saving you time and offering more consistent results.

Key Technical Advantages: The Tru-Color technology ensures that pigment particles remain suspended evenly in the thinner media, which consists primarily of acetone, allowing for smooth, fine spraying. The paint’s glossy finish enhances decal adhesion and overall visual appeal, while the specialized formulation allows the pigment to be revitalized over time using Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner, overcoming evaporation challenges found in soft plastic packaging.
