• Airbrush-ready consistency; too thin for brush painting

Compared to industry-standard acrylic paints, this Tru-Color paint stands out for its high pigment concentration and solvent base, providing vibrant, durable color suited for military model enthusiasts who demand accuracy. Unlike many thicker paints, this formula ensures smooth, consistent airbrushing without clogging or uneven coverage. Over time, the paint can be restored if it thickens due to evaporation, a unique benefit that extends its usability compared to other products.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

This Tru-Color paint utilizes an acetone-thinned pigment suspension that ensures excellent flow for airbrushing applications, requiring proper ventilation during use. Cleanup is quick and cost-effective using common acetone. The special packaging in soft plastic bottles allows for pigment conservation while accommodating the natural evaporation of thinner media—making it easy to rejuvenate the paint with Tru-Color's dedicated Rejuvenator or thinner products.

Its glossy finish on most colors enhances model realism, providing an optimal base for decals and additional weathering techniques. The precise FS-33445 color match ensures authenticity for military models, especially for the tops of APCs, meeting high standards expected by collectors and hobbyists alike.
