Compared to traditional enamel or brush paints, this Tru-Color Paint is designed to be thinner, which enhances airbrush usability and provides a smooth, even coat. Unlike some paints that require extended curing times, this paint dries to a glossy finish that is compatible with decals, making it ideal for scale modeling and historical recreations. It is important to note that this paint is too thin for brush painting, and primer use is recommended for metal and optional for plastics to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.

Over time, the soft plastic packaging may allow some thinner media to evaporate, but the pigment remains intact. The paint can be revitalized using Tru-Color’s 'Rejuvenator' or Thinner, extending its usability and maintaining color fidelity. As a Special Order Only product, it is ordered early Monday mornings and ships within 4-8 days, ensuring you receive fresh and ready-to-use paint.

Key Technical Advantages: This paint’s solvent-based acrylic technology ensures excellent flow through airbrushes and a smooth finish, while the acetone-based thinner allows quick drying. Its compatibility with decals and glossy finish sets it apart from other acrylic paints, making it a preferred choice for hobbyists and professionals who demand precision and historical accuracy.
