Squadron Colors 5-L Light Gray Acrylic Airbrush Paint (15ml Bottle)

Recreate authentic U.S. Navy warship finishes with Squadron Colors 5-L Light Gray Acrylic Airbrush Paint (15ml Bottle). This premium airbrush-ready acrylic paint is accurately matched to U.S. Navy Measure 1 and Measure 12 5-L Light Gray, a standard camouflage color used on American warships during the early years of World War II. It is ideal for battleships, cruisers, destroyers, aircraft carriers, submarines, and other U.S. Navy subjects.

Squadron Colors paints are formulated specifically for airbrush use and come ready to spray directly from the bottle. Each bottle contains a built-in flow control agent that provides smooth atomization, excellent coverage, and consistent performance. If additional thinning is desired, Squadron recommends using Scale Colors Thinner, distilled water, isopropyl alcohol (IPA), or a combination of these. Avoid using lacquer thinners or acrylic thinners from other manufacturers, as they may adversely affect the paint.

Whether you're building a Pearl Harbor-era battleship, an early-war destroyer, or a WWII U.S. Navy carrier, Squadron Colors 5-L Light Gray delivers historically accurate color and exceptional airbrush performance.
