• Solvent-based acrylic formula thinned with Acetone and other media

• Requires ventilation during use and Acetone for cleanup

Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color paint offers superior pigment quality and precision for scale modeling and military replicas. Its formula allows for a consistent and thin application, which is essential for achieving historically accurate finishes without texture buildup. Unlike many other paints, the glossy finish it leaves is perfect for applying decals directly without additional coating.

Over time, the paint’s thinner may evaporate due to the soft plastic bottle packaging, but the pigment remains intact and can be revitalized using Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner products. This ensures longevity of the product and reduces waste, making it suitable for collectors and hobbyists who value both performance and efficiency.

Key Technical Advantages: Technology and Performance

The Tru-Color formula blends traditional solvent-based acrylic technology with a ready-to-use airbrush consistency, setting it apart from earlier or more traditional enamel paints. This paint’s fast drying time and excellent pigment suspension improve workflow and precision in detailed projects. Its compatibility with a variety of materials, including metal and plastics with the use of primer, enhances its versatility across model types.
