One of my favorite Sunshine Models I built last year was this kit.  TruColor paint.

You certainly get good results from Tru-Color.  I tried them, although they sprayed nicely, the shelf life was not very good in the (plastic) bottles I have.

I had the same issue (shelf life). I bought a bunch of small glass bottles off Amazon and transferred the paint to them. Then used a silver marker wrote the RR initials and number on each lid. the paint is not evaporating as it did with the plastic bottles.

Good looking reefer, Charlie.  Those details on the ice hatch covers look great and must have been fun to add.
