Create realistic rubber finishes with Squadron Colors Tire Black Acrylic Airbrush Paint (15ml Bottle). Specifically formulated for airbrush use, this premium acrylic paint delivers smooth coverage, excellent atomization, and historically accurate color for tires, rubber track pads, hoses, boots, and other rubber components found on military vehicles, aircraft, automotive models, and miniatures.

Unlike standard flat black paints, Tire Black provides the subtle charcoal tone of real rubber, helping your finished models look more authentic. Squadron Colors are airbrush-ready directly from the bottle, requiring no thinning for most applications. Each bottle also includes a built-in flow control agent for consistent spraying and smooth coverage.

The water-based acrylic formula is low odor, fast drying, and engineered to produce a durable semi-gloss finish, making it ideal for applying decals, panel line washes, and weathering without immediately requiring a clear coat. When you're ready for your final finish, simply apply your preferred flat, satin, or gloss clear coat.

Whether you're painting aircraft tires, armor road wheels, automotive tires, or rubber equipment, Squadron Colors Tire Black is an essential addition to every modeler's paint collection.
