Tru-Color Paint produces a large number of automotive and truck paint colors in many different categories. These are High-Gloss single color paints which includes Kandies as well, Metallic and Pearlescent paints. The latter type includes Metallic Kandies as well. ALL of these paints are air brush ready and we recommend applying them at 28-35 PSI using a medium ( .5 mm) tip.

The TCP-500 Series are High Gloss paints designed to give that “show room fresh” appearance on your model and/or RC car or truck. The TCP-600 and 700 Series are also High Gloss and produce a “shimmer” due to the metallic or pearlescent particles used in the manufacture of the paint when viewed at an angle under strong light or outdoors.

When using a Kandy (which are transparent colors), they should be applied over a silver (TCP-077) or brass (TCP-288) paint to have the color “pop”. This causes the paint to appear liquid and having depth. For RC bodies apply the Kandy color first and then back the color with a metallic paint for best appearance.

ALL of the automobile colors in all series can be applied to RC (Radio Control) bodies.   The paint will not crack or craze the body and adhesion is superb, even if the R/C car is involved in a crash. Note that when using a Kandy color, back the color with silver (TCP-077) or Brass (TCP-287) to make the Kandy “pop” on the vehicle. It will give your model added appeal.

Colors for the automobile interiors have been added to the product line. These colors are designed to be sprayed at 28-35 PSI using a medium (.5 mm) tip and will dry to a matte finish.

Colors for automobile engines have also been added to the product line. These colors are designed to be applied with a paint brush and will dry to a high gloss finish. More colors may be added if there is interest.

Used the old SMP AccuPaint years ago….these folks have taken that line and made this SOOOOO much better. This is the best model paint I’ve ever used and I’ve using model paints and an airbrush since 1975! Tried them all, solvent based, acrylics, water based, you name it. This stuff is the very best. Nice job guys!

John Henderson

Just started using TruColor. I love this paint…no disappointing results. Highly recommend this paint for anyone that wants to get it RIGHT!!

Mark Conca of Sunrise Trails Hobbies

On our new spray cans:
What a nice surprise on how well they work.

Pablo Bauleo

On painting a Eduard P-400 WWII airplane:
“They have good color density and they atomize fantastically. They do not obscure any surface detail and they are ready to spray out of the bottle. To top them off, the adhesion to plastic is outstanding. I highly recommended these paints to modelers of any experience level.”

 

Charles Landrum

IPMS USA National Review on AFV Club 1/350 LST-1:
“After spraying the Dark Rust, I let it sit for several days. I also shot a test wing to more fully abuse. The paint did not pull up after masking with an low tack adhesive tape. On my test wing I used harsher tape and still it did not pull. After masking and painting the boot topping on the hull, I painted with Model Master Acryl for the upper hull. After several days of curing I did have some pull up of Model Master Acryl, but not Tru-Color. I was totally satisfied with Tru-Color Paint in this application”.

John Gauthier

On painting HO-scale trains:
” Your product is second to none”
