Well, I should have done the search and read the past threads about metalizer sealers.
After spending MUCH time getting the aluminum finish on my F-86 just right, I sealed it with Testors sealer. It almost completely diminished the buffed and non-buffed look and that bright aluminum color now has sort of an amber looking tone. Don't know if I should strip it and start over, or just decal it and call it done.
Would Glosscoat have been better? I've read most of the stuff on using Future, but have read also where it doesn't hold up over time.
I was so proud of my multiple attempts to get it right and now this.
There's a Do-17 just screaming at me to build it, so maybe it's time to move over to some camo work.
Anyway, just wanted to gripe and reinforce the warning about Metalizer sealers. DON"T USE THEM! (then again, that's just my opinion).
Thanks once again, though, for all the past help from all in the forum.
Later, Stinger
