Poly MEDIUM QUASAR BLUE 1-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The Poly MEDIUM QUASAR BLUE Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic designed for airbrush applications, offering a fine metallic finish that simulates prototype metallic paint with scale bits of flakes. This 1-ounce bottle is engineered for precision and a glossy, ready-for-decal finish, making it ideal for professional and hobbyist use alike.

• Paint type: Solvent-based acrylic with metallic flakes
• Volume: 1 oz per bottle
• Finish: Glossy finish, non-flat, ready for decal application
• Application method: Airbrush only; too thin for brush painting
• Cleaning agent: Inexpensive acetone

Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color paint provides a superior metallic effect with a fine, glossy finish that sets itself apart from other metallic paints by its ability to simulate prototype scale flakes. Unlike thicker brush paints, its airbrush-ready formula ensures even coverage and a smooth surface suitable for decals, enhancing the final modeling appearance. The requirement for ventilation while spraying and the use of primer on metal surfaces aligns with best practices for maintaining paint integrity and adhesion.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The paint’s solvent-based acrylic technology, combined with acetone thinning, allows for precise spraying and rapid drying to a durable, glossy finish. The pigment is stable over time and can be rejuvenated with Tru-Color’s specially formulated thinner, ensuring longevity and value. Its formulation is uniquely designed to handle the evaporation of thinner media when stored in soft plastic bottles, allowing users to restore paint consistency easily. This attention to performance makes it a reliable choice for scale modelers requiring detailed, high-quality metallic finishes.
