Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

This paint uses a carefully balanced blend of pigments suspended in solvent thinners that remain stable over time. Although the soft plastic bottle packaging may allow some thinner evaporation, the concentrated pigment stays intact. Users can restore the paint’s original consistency using Tru-Color’s specialized “Rejuvenator” or thinner products, ensuring maximum longevity and usability. Special order processing ensures fresh, quality batches ship within 4-8 days after early Monday ordering.
