Metallic CRYSTAL RED Tintcoat 1-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The Metallic CRYSTAL RED Tintcoat is an airbrush-ready solution designed to deliver a premium scale-metallic finish suited for detailed model painting. This 1-ounce bottle contains solvent-based acrylic paint that dries with a vibrant, glossy gloss designed to simulate realistic prototype metallic effects.

• Scale metalized flakes to replicate prototype paint
• Solvent-based acrylic formula thinned with Acetone and custom media
• Glossy finish ideal for decal application
• Requires airbrush application; not intended for brush painting
• Cleanup with inexpensive Acetone

Unlike traditional metallic paints on the market, the Crystal Red Tintcoat features finely scaled flakes that mimic authentic metallic reflections, providing a depth and shimmer enviable for modelers demanding the highest finish quality. This thin-bodied paint adheres best when primed, especially on metal or plastic surfaces, and benefits from adequate ventilation during use due to its Acetone thinning agents.

This innovative paint offers bright, lasting coverage without the flat or matte effect common in many metallic paints. Over extended periods, should the thinner evaporate from the soft plastic container, the pigment remains intact and can be revived with Tru-Color’s specially formulated Rejuvenator or Thinner, ensuring long-term usability that exceeds conventional acrylic paints.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The paint's solvent-based acrylic composition enables unparalleled smoothness and detail retention when airbrushed, reducing clogging and creating a flawless mirror-like metallic sheen. This Tru-Color Paint is formulated to dry quickly while maintaining excellent adhesion, enhancing durability and allowing immediate decal application post drying. The scale metallic flakes embedded in the paint deliver a level of authenticity and gloss that industry-standard metallic paints often fail to achieve.
