Tru Color is Acetone based and not Lacquer based. I did not like them as they peel up when masked over. I'm not aware of anyone producing lacquer based USN Colors. I would also like to see that.
Squadron Colors are good matches, but they are water based and do not brush paint at all. Strictly an airbrush paint line.
There is also Colourcoats available through the White Ensign Models web site, but they are an enamel based paint.

Who, if anyone, in the US produces correctly matched WWII USN paints that are solvent-based, come in 1oz bottles, and can supply at a commercial level?
