Testors Metallic Red Enamel Paint 1/4 oz – 1152TT: Scale, Subject & Display Guide

This page is devoted to Testors Metallic Red Enamel Paint 1/4 oz – 1152TT, the exact model paint sold under the Testors Paints record. The goal is practical identification: what the listing confirms, what remains unverified, and what a buyer or builder should compare before using the item.
Exact identity and distinguishing details
- Exact product: Testors Metallic Red Enamel Paint 1/4 oz – 1152TT
- Brand or vendor: Testors Paints
- Product type: Model Paint
- SKU or catalog key: TES1152TT
- Variants reviewed: 1

The recorded price at verification was $3.62 before shipping and tax. At least one variant was orderable when the record was checked.
The complete title is meaningful here, not decorative. Keep TES1152TT with the product record because abbreviated names often omit the detail that distinguishes one version from another.
Confirmed facts versus assumptions
The source description says: “Testors Metallic Red Enamel Paint — 1/4 fl oz Fast-drying, oil-based enamel formulated for detailed hobby, craft and model-painting projects. The controlled pigment blend provides a metallic red finish on compatible prepared surfaces. Manufacturer: Testors Product code: 1152TT Color: Metallic Red Container size: 1/4 fl oz (7.4 mL) Paint type: Enamel Use with adequate ventilation and follow the label safety directions. Hazardous-material shipping restrictions may apply.” This is useful evidence, but it is not expanded beyond what the listing supports. Missing dimensions, materials, compatibility claims or package contents remain open questions.
Practical use and compatibility
Collectors should read Testors Metallic Red Enamel Paint 1/4 oz – 1152TT as a combination of casting, finish, release details and presentation. The useful comparison is not “same brand” but “same exact configuration.” Check the images for tampo placement, paint edges, wheel style, glass, base, stance and any included packaging before using another listing as a reference.
The item number TES1152TT is especially important when the title contains a real-car year or model name. That year can describe the subject rather than the miniature’s release date, and two editions can share the same subject while differing in graphics, color or production series.
A closer project or collection check
Similar diecast products often differ in small, high-value details. Review the wheel spokes, tire profile, base color, glazing, interior, license or race markings and package code. The aim is not to assign a grade from a distance but to confirm that the delivered item matches the release purchased.
Display and handling should follow the format: loose models need nonabrasive separation, packages need edge and blister protection, and project cars need a documented baseline before disassembly.
What to inspect in the product images
Review all 1 available image in sequence rather than judging the item from the first thumbnail. Front, side, reverse, package and detail views answer different questions. The record is strongest when those views agree with the title and item number TES1152TT.
The short decision checklist
- Use the complete name, not a shortened marketplace label.
- Use TES1152TT to prevent a near-match substitution.
- Read the variant and inventory state shown now.
- Confirm technical requirements from the current manufacturer source.
- Keep the receipt and one reference image with the product record.

How to document it after purchase
After purchase, store the acquisition date, price, seller, item number TES1152TT, selected option and one clear image with the project or collection record. Add notes about fit, assembly, condition or performance only after they are observed on this exact item.
This separates verified ownership evidence from later opinion and makes a replacement or repeat purchase much easier.
Gift considerations
For gifting, the product image can verify the visual subject while the item number TES1152TT verifies the release. Both checks matter when the recipient collects small variations.
