Another Future question

Only trouble I have ever had with Future is that if you spray it on, it is easy to overspray it. If you aren't sure, do a series of light coats about 20 minutes apart to make sure you are getting an even layer. Just wait until you see how well it improves the clear parts though!

Thanks for the input, I plan to give it go this weekend.

rcochran,

If you're nervous about using future, then make sure you do a test piece on something other than your masterpiece. Future is pretty darn good stuff, but it's not foolproof. You'll find that it will generally look 'better' once it has fully dried (48 hours) than when you just put it on. It will generally level itself out pretty good and the biggest problem I have is with 'runs' (ie. too much future...)

I second that!

Fade to Black...

Yes and yes. Coat with Future and let it dry or cure overnight before applying decals. The future produces a smooth surface for the decals. After puting on the decals, you can then coat with a dull coat. to get the flat texture you need. It will also help seal the decals. I always apply a second coat of future over the model after I have put on the decals. I will then spray a dull coat over it and this gives the decals that painted on look.
