• Consistency: Thin, airbrush-ready formula
• Drying characteristic: Dries to a matte texture, perfect for authentic aged rust appearance
• Cleanup: Easily cleaned with acetone

Compared to other airbrush-ready Tru-Color paints that typically dry to a glossy finish ready for decal application, this Matte AGED RUST version stands out by drying to a matte finish, offering a more authentic and visually appealing aged rust look. Unlike brush paints, this formula is too thin for hand-brushing but excels when sprayed with an airbrush, allowing for finer control and smoother results. Additionally, while primers are recommended for use on metal surfaces, this paint can also be applied over plastics with proper preparation. Over time, the paint's thinner may evaporate due to the soft plastic packaging, but the pigment remains stable and can be rejuvenated using Tru-Color's proprietary Rejuvenator or Thinner.
