Description
Air Reefer Gray delivers the same versatile and historically inspired color as its brush-on counterpart. but in a ready-to-spray formula for airbrush users. This mid-tone gray captures the utilitarian finish found on refrigerator cars. early industrial machinery. and structures from the steam and Smart Pick eras. With a hint of warmth. it avoids the starkness of pure gray. allowing for more authentic weathering and aging effects.
