Metallic VIKING BLUE 1-oz Bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The Metallic VIKING BLUE 1-oz bottle from Tru-Color Paint is an airbrush-ready, solvent-based acrylic paint designed for fine scale modeling. This paint features a unique metallic finish with scale-sized flakes to authentically simulate prototype metallic surfaces, drying to a smooth glossy finish.

• Solvent-based acrylic formula thinned with Acetone and additional media
• 1-ounce bottle volume, ideal for precise applications
• Dries to a glossy finish suitable for decal application
• Paint is too thin for brush painting; optimized for airbrush use
• Requires primer for metal surfaces and recommended for plastics

Compared to industry-standard paints, this metallic paint offers superior scale fidelity due to its specialized flake pigment size and formula. Unlike many other airbrush paints, it maintains a brilliant gloss without requiring additional clear coats, providing a professional finish directly from the bottle. Its formulation allows easy cleanup with inexpensive Acetone, making maintenance straightforward for modelers.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The Tru-Color Metallic VIKING BLUE paint uses a solvent-based acrylic system, thinned specifically with Acetone to achieve optimal spray consistency. Ventilation is necessary during spraying to ensure safety and paint integrity. Because the pigment does not evaporate, the paint can be rejuvenated with Tru-Color’s proprietary Rejuvenator or Thinner if the media has partially evaporated over time. This ensures long-lasting usability from the soft plastic packaging. The glossy finish dries evenly and is ready for decal application, ideal for creating highly detailed, accurate scale models.
