Compared to typical acrylic paint retarders, this retarder stands out due to its unique compatibility with the solvent-based Tru-Color Paint system.

This formula is specifically designed for airbrush use, being too thin for brush application but offering exceptional control and finishing consistency during airbrushing.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

This retarder features a solvent-based formula thinned with Acetone and specialized media, which extends working time without sacrificing paint adhesion or gloss. For optimal performance and safety, proper ventilation is recommended during use. Cleanup is also made easy with inexpensive Acetone, supporting a user-friendly experience for both professionals and enthusiasts.

Being a special order item, the product is shipped within 4-8 days to guarantee freshness and maintain the quality of the media and pigment suspension. Over time, some thinning agents may evaporate from the soft plastic packaging, but the pigment remains active. This can be reactivated using Tru-Color’s "Rejuvenator" or Thinner, ensuring long-term usability and consistent results.
