I have heard of car guys dropping a whole finished body in the stuff, but not the whole car.

Usually, with any genre of model, there are areas on the finished model that need to have flat finish.

Me neitehr, you may well end up with runs down the sides and drips on the underside.

Wow,its seems to me that it would be messy,hard to control with a large model as opposed to a small canopy. I don't see the up side to it over airbrushing.

I have a flat finish I need to clearcoat. Does anyone think it would be OK to roll it in a bath of PFM, much the same way with canopies to give it a thick coat, and then drain the rest off? I know it levels well but have never tried this.
