Before I can seriously consider TruColor, I would HAVE to find a suitable alternative thinner for their paint.
A 16 oz bottle of TruColor's thinner at $81.95 (as of July 1) ain't happening for me, not the way thinner is consumed when airbrushing.
$81.95 for 16oz of thinner? Surely they jest.
Yo....it's called A-c-e-t-o-n-e....acetone. I have an old quart of the stuff in my workbench...been using it for all sorts of applications for at least 5 years...$3.99...for 32 oz.. It's what I and our customers use with this paint.
The bottle of Tru-Color thinner sez on its side: "Contains: Acetone"
So, Testors charges about $3.58 (MSRP, 1.75oz) for their enamel thinner. That's about $63 per quart. Most of our regular customers doing significant amount of painting with enamels buy thinner by the gallon...from HD, Lowes, Menards, Walmart, etc....for much less than $250.00!!!
But if Tru-Color's thinner and its cost is a reason to NOT use it, so be it. It was just a suggestion....FWIW, always.
