Matte DIRT 1-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The Matte DIRT 1-oz bottle is a solvent-based acrylic paint specifically formulated for airbrush use, delivering a smooth matte finish that sets it apart from most Tru-Color paints which typically dry glossy. Designed for precision, this paint is thinned with Acetone and other media to ensure optimal spray performance and fast drying times.

• 1-ounce bottle size for convenient, controlled application
• Solvent-based acrylic formulation thinned with Acetone
• Dries to a non-reflective matte finish
• Requires ventilation during spraying for safety
• Cleanup achieved easily with inexpensive Acetone

Compared to standard Tru-Color paints that dry to a glossy finish ready for decal application, the Matte DIRT color offers a unique matte appearance, ideal for realistic dirt effects and weathering on models. Unlike thicker paints, this airbrush-ready formula is too thin for brush painting but ensures smooth, even coverage through airbrushing. For best adhesion, primer should be applied to metal surfaces and can also be used on plastics.

Over time, some evaporation of the thinner in the soft plastic bottle packaging may occur, but the pigment itself remains stable and can be rejuvenated with Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner. This paint is a special order item processed early on Monday mornings, with shipping expected within 4-8 days.

The water-resistant, quick-drying formula enables smooth layering without gloss interference. The convenient 1-ounce size maximizes usability while minimizing waste, and the ability to restore pigment strength with rejuvenator ensures long-lasting value for modelers seeking precise and clean results.
