I'm getting the general purpose of Future. My question is how do you apply. Do you have to thin it out or something? i'm assuming that you airbrush it on. Also what's the correct method of applying a dull coat after the Future has dried? (Is the dullcoat applied out of a can or airbrushed or applied by another method?)

Thanks to all those who respond!!!

The best way is to use an air brush. You can get an even coat that way. It can be brushed on and will level its self out once applied.You can use it un thined and get excellent results.

Be sure and let it dry for at least 12 to 24 hours or longer depending on the temperature or humidity. It need to cure or harden to prevent any problerms with handeling.

A dull coat can be applied after the future has cured. It is best to spray on the dull coat as applying with a brush may desolve or damage the future.

Do you apply the dullcoat from a spray can?

You can use an airbrush or spray can. Mask any clear parts such as canopy, windows, or lights prior to spraying on the dullcoat. If you don't it will frost the clear and nothing can be done to correct it.

Any type of flat coat can be sprayed over Future once it has cured. Do it in light coats, adding more after the first coat has dried, if needed.
