Chessie System RED-ORANGE 1-oz Bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic paint engineered for precise airbrushing applications. This paint features a pigment thinned with Acetone and proprietary media to ensure a smooth, fine mist suited for detailed model painting.

• Volume: 1 oz bottle
• Paint Type: Solvent-based acrylic
• Thinner: Acetone and additional media
• Finish: Glossy (except flat/matte colors)
• Application: Airbrush ready, too thin for brush painting

Compared to other hobby paints, this paint adheres well to a variety of surfaces when paired with proper priming. It is recommended to use primer on metal and optionally on plastics to optimize paint adhesion and durability. All non-flat or matte colors dry to a glossy finish that is ideal for decal application, making it perfect for detailed model work like Chessie System replicas.

Over time, the paint's solvent may evaporate due to packaging in soft plastic bottles, but the pigment remains intact. This pigment can be revived with Tru-Color's specially formulated Rejuvenator or Thinner, ensuring consistent performance even after prolonged storage.
