The Pearlescent DARK CHARCOAL Tru-Color paint comes in a convenient 1-ounce bottle specially designed for airbrush application. This solvent-based acrylic paint features a unique pearlescent finish with fine scale bits of flakes that authentically simulate prototype metallic paint, drying to a high-gloss finish that’s perfect for model builders and hobbyists.

Unlike traditional paints that are brush-friendly, this Tru-Color paint is uniquely formulated for airbrush use due to its thin consistency. Metal surface preparation is recommended with primer, and primers may also be used for plastics to enhance adhesion and finish quality. The package is designed to maintain pigment stability, and if thinning media evaporates over time, the pigment can be revived with Tru-Color's Rejuvenator or Thinner, extending the paint’s usability well beyond initial opening.

Compared to standard model paints, the Pearlescent DARK CHARCOAL Tru-Color paint offers superior realism through its embedded metallic flakes and authentic pearlescent tint. Its faster drying time and compatibility with decal applications reduce workflow time while achieving professional-grade results. Special order availability ensures this premium paint is fresh and ready to ship within 4-8 days, meeting the demands of dedicated modelers and airbrush artists alike.
