Any type of wash over a flat finish will be absorbed by the flat paint darkenening it as Steve mentioned. So for panel line washes it's best to have a glossy finish. You can even brush on Future with a soft wide brush. You will need to apply several coats to build up the gloss, 5 minutes in between. Apply light coats to avoid runs. It is self leveling and will not leave any brush marks.

You have to gloss up the surface prior to decaling to avoid silvering under the clear carrier film which happens most of the time over flat finishes. Just make certain you leave the Future cure 1-2 days to avoid any clouding to the decal areas specially when using decal setting solutions.

Another alternative is to spray Aqua Gloss from Alclad, which is water based also.

I would. If you apply and oil wash streight to acrylics the oil will penetrate the acrylic paint and darken the entire surface, which is great for armor but not so good on modern aircraft.

Future can be shot straight,it doesn't need to be diluted.

Yes you can use Tamiya Gloss instead.Are you washing with enamels,oils,or acrylics ? If your not using acrylic then you can use Vallejo also.Whatever you wash woth,seal with the opposite.

Hello all, Im almost done on my control panel for my strike eagle and i want to give it a protective coat as ive read i should, so that i could make my first attempt at washing it( any tips on this would be welcome as well) But to my main question do i need to dilute this stuff before shooting it? Number two would my tamiya clear do the same job? any feedback would be welcomed thanks. Oh ya drybrushing is this best done before or after my wash? Ill ask tips on dry brusing after lol

regards.
