The Polytranspar Award

The Polytranspar Award is presented to the highest scoring fish in regional taxidermy competitions that was painted with Polytranspar Airbrush Paint.

Year after year, in competition after competition, entries finished with Polytranspar Airbrush Paint continue to win more major taxidermy awards than all other paint brands combined! For the past 17 years, Poytranspar--the original paint system designed BY wildlife artists FOR wildlife artists--IS the choice of champions!
