RETARDER 2-oz bottle (Airbrush-ready) Tru-Color Paint

The RETARDER 2-oz bottle from Tru-Color Paint is a specialized airbrush-ready acrylic paint designed for precision application. This paint is solvent-based with pigment thinned by Acetone and other media, ensuring smooth and consistent flow for airbrushing projects.

• Volume: 2 ounces
• Type: Solvent-based acrylic paint
• Thinner: Acetone and proprietary media blend
• Finish: Glossy for all non-flat or matte colors
• Packaging: Soft plastic bottle requiring occasional rejuvenation

Compared to industry standards, Tru-Color’s airbrush-ready paint stands out with its thin consistency specifically formulated for airbrush use only, as it is too thin for brush painting. The glossy finish of its non-flat and non-matte colors provides an ideal surface for decal application, surpassing many acrylic paints that require additional clear coats. Using primer on metal surfaces and optional priming on plastics helps maintain the paint’s durability and adhesion, aligning with best practices in model painting and airbrush art.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

Tru-Color Paint’s formula uses Acetone and special media as a thinner to achieve high-quality spray characteristics while allowing for easy cleanup with inexpensive Acetone. The pressure-sensitive soft plastic bottles may experience evaporation of thinner over time, but the pigment remains intact and can be revitalized using Tru-Color’s specially designed Rejuvenator or Thinner, extending the paint’s usability. Additionally, ventilation is required when spraying, which is important for safety during application.
