Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

Tru-Color Paint employs a carefully balanced solvent-based acrylic formula thinned with Acetone to achieve an optimal airbrush-ready consistency. The pigment concentration is designed to maintain vibrancy and longevity while drying quickly to a glossy finish, perfect for precision work. Additionally, the product may be rejuvenated with Tru-Color’s proprietary “Rejuvenator” or Thinner if the media thins over time due to packaging in soft plastic bottles. This paint offers exceptional adhesion when used with appropriate primers on metal and plastics, making it highly versatile for restoration and modeling projects that demand historical color accuracy and reliable performance.
