• Solvent-based acrylic paint with acetone thinner
• Ready for airbrushing, not suitable for brush painting
• Glossy finish on all colors except flat or matte
• Requires ventilation during use for safety
• Cleanup with inexpensive acetone

Compared to standard hobby paints, the Tru-Color paint range offers superior airbrush readiness and a glossy finish optimized for decal application. It requires primer when used on metal surfaces, and primer is also recommended for plastic materials to enhance adhesion. This paint’s thinner consistency distinguishes it from traditional brush paints, ensuring easy flow through airbrush equipment without clogging.

One unique challenge with this product is its packaging in soft plastic bottles, which may cause evaporation of some thinner media over time. However, the pigment remains stable and can be reactivated by using Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner. This feature ensures that even older bottles can be restored to perform like new, maintaining color integrity and spray quality for extended use.
