Tru-Color Paint is pleased to announce the release of several flesh colors plus general clothing/buckle, button, etc. colors which may be applied with a paint brush on figures. These all dry flat.

These are as follows: TCP-805 Flat Black; TCP-809 Flat Dark Green; TCP-810 Flat Light Green; TCP-817 Flat Off-White; TCP-818 Flat Light Tan; TCP-819 Flat Dark Tan; TCP-840 Flat Caucasian Flesh; TCP-860 Flat Medium Flesh; TCP-861 Flat Light Mocha Flesh and TCP-862 Flat Dark Mocha Flesh. All of these paints are available in 1 oz. ($ 6.19 list) and 2 oz. bottles ($ 11.25) from your favorite local hobby shop, online store or from Tru-Color Paint directly.

Many more brushable colors are in stock - check out our website or ask for a brochure showing all of the colors in this series of paints.

As always, ALL of these paints are manufactured in Phoenix, AZ and we have NEVER discontinued a product from our product lines once they have been released !

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

It would be nice to have the option of buying sets like flesh at a discount due to how many are in the set and also have the ability to top up with single jars as required.

Darren:

Thank you for your reply. As mentioned before Tru-Color Paint produces 5 different paint sets - 3 automotive, 1 weathering set and 1 flat, brushable set. Very few of these sets sold even though they sold at a lower price than single bottles. We still have 100's in stock. The most reasonable package size for our brand is 6 1 oz. bottles.

Distributors and hobby shops don't care for the sets as they are more costly to inventory with lower turnover rates than individual bottles. The other issue was selection - what does a manufacture put into the sets that is most useful to the modeler ?

For these reasons Tru-Color Paint at this time will not make sets. However, we are willing to put it to a vote of the modeling community. Would you purchase sets (at a lower price than single bottles) of 1) Flesh/Figure Colors; 2) MERDC Armored colors; 3) Detailing colors (like rusts, ash, muds, etc.) ?

Let's hear from you. Would having sets be more of an incentive to buy Tru-Color Paint ?
