About Turbo Dork

Originally started in 2018 as one man’s quest to find the perfect metallic purple for his space marine miniatures, Turbo Dork has now grown from that initial 16 paints on Etsy into a full line of 80 colors distributed around the world! From our humble beginnings as a side hustle at the kitchen table of a Downtown Los Angeles loft to a cross-country move in 2021 to an actual warehouse in Austin, Texas, we have grown quite a bit in our first several years. Despite how much we’ve grown though, we try to maintain a scrappy, ‘can-do’ spirit and strive as a small company to make the best products we can. With our line of beautiful Metallics and our radical Turbo Shifts, we try to make a palette as colorful as the diverse hobby world we serve. We strive to be a welcoming and inclusive space in the world of hobbies, and one of the most approachable and personable groups of people in the industry. As we look to the future, and the exciting possibilities it holds, we see nothing but opportunities to continue to make our slice of the world as colorful as possible.Read their story
