Metallic TANGERINE 1-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The Metallic TANGERINE 1-oz bottle Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic paint specially formulated for airbrush use. It features fine scale bits of flakes that simulate prototype metallic paint, drying to a glossy finish that enhances model realism.

• Paint volume: 1-oz bottle
• Finish: Glossy metallic with scale flakes
• Solvent base: Acrylic pigment thinned with Acetone and other media
• Application method: Airbrush only (too thin for brush painting)
• Cleanup: Easy with inexpensive Acetone

Compared to standard hobby paints and previous models, this metallic Tru-Color paint stands out for its scale-accurate flakes and superior gloss finish, making it ideal for detailed scale models and prototypes. Unlike many brush-on paints, its airbrush-ready formula ensures a smooth, even coat that mimics real metallic textures. Additionally, it dries quickly and is compatible with decals following application, giving models a professional appearance.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance
This Tru-Color paint’s solvent-based acrylic formulation allows for excellent pigment suspension, with media thinned by Acetone for optimal airbrushing. The paint’s thin consistency requires ventilation for safe use and is easy to clean up with Acetone afterward. Over time, evaporation of thinner from the soft plastic bottle can occur, but the pigment remains intact and can be rejuvenated using Tru-Color’s proprietary Rejuvenator or Thinner. Primers are recommended for metal and can be used on plastics to ensure surface adhesion and enhance durability.
