Rockford's Hobby Legend
Testors Corporation was founded in 1929 in Rockford, Illinois, building a business supplying model builders with the paints and cements needed to complete their projects. For nearly a century, Testors has been the default name in American hobby paints — the small bottles of enamel and acrylic paint that generations of model builders have applied with fine brushes to build scale aircraft, ships, and vehicles.
Rockford, a manufacturing city in Winnebago County with deep roots in metalworking and precision manufacturing, provided the industrial infrastructure that supported Testors' growth from a small specialty supplier into the dominant American hobby paint company. Part of RPM International, Testors maintains its Rockford manufacturing heritage.
The Model Builder's Paint
Testors enamel paints are formulated for adhesion to plastic, metal, and wood model surfaces — the specific substrates that scale modelers work with. The oil-based enamel formula provides excellent coverage and durability, and the standard 1/4-ounce bottles are designed for the small quantities needed for detail painting on model kits.
For serious scale modelers, Testors enamel remains the benchmark American-made paint for plastic kits. The full palette covers military colors, aircraft liveries, and custom colors used in competition model building. Made in Rockford, Illinois, with the same domestic manufacturing commitment that has served American hobbyists since the Testors founders mixed their first batch of model paint in 1929.
