This paint exceeds typical hobby metallic paints by offering a highly realistic sheen with finely dispersed flakes, providing a finish that closely resembles actual prototype metallic paint. Its formulation allows for smooth, even spraying, but requires proper ventilation due to solvent content. Compared to earlier Tru-Color models, this dark blue metallic variant maintains excellent durability and gloss while being optimized for decal application.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The paint’s solvent-based acrylic composition ensures rapid drying and superior adhesion when used with a primer on metals and plastics. Its thinner consistency enables flawless airbrush application, although it is unsuitable for brush painting due to the fine scale flakes and thin pigment suspension. Cleanup is simple using inexpensive Acetone, and the formula can be rejuvenated if thinning media evaporates over time by adding Tru-Color’s dedicated Rejuvenator or Thinner. This specialized formulation ensures a long-lasting, vivid metallic finish for advanced model builders.
