This U.S. Army MERDC FIELD DRAB (Armor) FS-30118 Tru-Color paint is a solvent-based acrylic formulated specifically for airbrush application. The paint is thinned with Acetone and other media to ensure a perfectly smooth flow, ideal for precise, detailed finishing.

• 1-ounce bottle size for convenient and controlled use
• Airbrush-ready consistency, not suitable for brush painting
• Solvent-based acrylic makeup using Acetone thinning
• Dries to a glossy finish (except flat or matte colors) optimized for decal application
• Requires primer on metal surfaces; optionally used on plastics

Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color paint stands out for its unique solvent-based acrylic formula that ensures excellent pigment dispersion and adhesion when airbrushed. Unlike previous water-based or thicker acrylics, this paint provides a thinner consistency that enables superior detailing and smooth layering without clogging or streaking. The glossy finish enhances model realism by preparing an optimal surface for decals, which many standard paints lack. Although not suitable for brush painting due to its thin viscosity, this feature advances the product’s precision airbrush capability above traditional brush-applied paints.

Key Technical Advantages: This Tru-Color paint technology benefits from acetone-based thinning, ensuring quick drying times and easy cleanup using inexpensive acetone. The paint’s pigment is stable over time even if some thinner evaporates, as it can be revived with Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner products. This guarantees lasting quality and usability. Being packaged in soft plastic bottles also facilitates convenient, waste-free dispensing tailored for controlled airbrush application, which enhances performance for modeling professionals and hobbyists alike.
