10-4 on the brush painting. That's exactly what I did. Saved myself a bunch of work. You can see the end results on the a/c forum. Look for "1st time pics", 2-16-06. Thanks.

NMF will weather to a flat finish in a rather short period unless it has a protective coating over it (wax or clear coat)

the good thing is since it is futured there is less a chance of pullup from the masking..

Good luck!!!

Thanks Tom. I was afraid I might hear that answer. Oh well, time to get out the masking tape.

Hud - I think the flat would take away the metallic look of the NMF.. I hate to say it but I think masking would be the way to go. The flat would also give a 'haze' effect to the NMF...
