Tru-Color Paint is a solvent-based acrylic lacquer model paint founded in 2008 in Phoenix, Arizona by Rick Galazzo and Scott Cohen. The line now spans 600+ colors, including more than 400 prototype-matched railroad colors developed in consultation with railroad historical societies. Tru-Color sprays right out of the bottle through an airbrush, accepts decals and weathering cleanly, and dries to a durable semi-gloss finish that holds up under repeated handling.
Oakville Model Trains Depot stocks the full Tru-Color catalogue in 1 oz, 2 oz, and 16 oz sizes, with deep coverage of Canadian prototype roadnames: CP Rail (Action Red, Action Yellow, Tuscan, CPKC merger scheme), CN (yellow, red, green, lettering gray), BC Rail, VIA Rail, GO Transit, and Ontario Northland. You'll also find every major US Class I (UP, BNSF, NS, CSX, Santa Fe), the automotive line (TCP-500s/600s/700s), military colors with FS code matching and IJN, and the TCP-800 structure flat/brushable range. Don't forget TCP-015 Thinner — Tru-Color is solvent-based and needs their proprietary thinner, not standard lacquer thinner.
Whether you're touching up a factory paint job, painting a brass locomotive, or weathering a fleet of rolling stock, Tru-Color pairs perfectly with Microscale decals and Evergreen styrene.
