Re: Tru-color paint
I used Tru Color for almost all of my projects this last year. Things that have worked for me.
Use the Tru Color brand thinner, I thin maybe 20-25%, I clean up with laquer thinner.
Use several drops

Re: Tru-color paint
Being a hobbyist, not a pro, TC is the finest paint I've ever used. Very forgiving paint if you spray too thick. It always dries up smooth and shows all details perfectly.
Most reds I thin like

Re: Meat Reefers - Backhaul Freight

Were such backhauls common or the exception?
Thanks.
