Compared to industry standards, this Tru-Color paint offers a thinner consistency specifically optimized for airbrush use and is not suitable for brush painting due to its low viscosity. Its pigment is suspended in a blend of acetone and other solvents, which can evaporate over time in its soft plastic packaging. However, this paint can be revived efficiently with Tru-Color’s Rejuvenator or Thinner, extending its usability beyond typical shelf life. The glossy finish surpasses many flat or matte paints by delivering an ideal surface for decal adherence without additional treatments.
