RETARDER 1-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The RETARDER 1-oz bottle from Tru-Color Paint is a specialized solvent-based acrylic paint designed for airbrush application. This product features a unique formulation with pigments thinned using Acetone and other media, ensuring optimal flow and finish for detailed airbrush work.

• Volume: 1 ounce (oz)
• Formulation: Solvent-based acrylic paint with Acetone thinning
• Finish: Glossy finish on all non-flat or matte colors
• Application: Airbrush-ready, not suitable for brush painting

Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color Paint retarder excels in providing a smooth, glossy finish that is immediately ready for decal application. It requires ventilation during spraying to ensure safety and proper drying. Unlike many other acrylics, this paint maintains consistent pigment quality, although the thinner medium may evaporate over time in soft plastic bottles. This can be easily remedied with Tru-Color's dedicated “Rejuvenator” or Thinner products, extending the paint's usability well beyond the average lifespan.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

Tru-Color's RETARDER 1-oz bottle is crafted with advanced technology to deliver reliable performance for airbrush users. Its solvent-based formula thinned with acetone ensures excellent flow and adhesion on metal and plastic surfaces, especially when paired with the recommended primer. The paint dries quickly to a durable, glossy finish that withstands decal application without peeling or bubbling. Additionally, its easy cleanup process reduces waste and cost, making it a favored choice among professional modelers and artists seeking superior quality and longevity in their paints.
