Metalizer and paint

Wombat,
I've had no problems whatsoever painting Metalizer over enamels or acrylics - they dry so fast that they have no time to kill the paint they're going over........
And having said this...................ALWAYS experiment before you commit paint to your masterpiece.
The Metalizer is great stuff - it's easy to apply, looks fantastic - but it's very fragile unless you seal it - which can really dull the polished aluminum effect.
Good luck and I'd like to see the Connie when it's dons.
Cheers,
LeeTree

What do you use to seal the metalizer? Would future work ok for that, it doesn't seem like it would dull the finish but I haven't tried it very much. The only metalizer I've used to date has been the gunmetal metalizer, for the inside of jet engine exhausts, but I'd like to make a bare metal finish mustang soon.

I have used Future to seal metalzer. Spray it on as a fine mist coat and let dry. Apply a second light coat and it will not change the texture or color. If you apply in heavy coats it will change the color and texture of the NMF.
