brushing on future?
Posted by Anonymous on Monday, April 12, 2004 12:32 AM
Can you brush futor on using a regular brush, and if so does the future need to be thinned with anything. I wantto try this on my NSX, although Im no where near the decal stage yet. I'd like to practice on a junk body first.

That's what I did on mine, works fine, just have to move fast, brush in one direction, and not too thick. Same basics of brush painting.

I've had good success using a half inch foam brush that I bought at Lowes. Just be careful to not load the brush up with too much Future because it will run everywhere.

Use short strokes, but you'll probably find that it's easy to get good coverage and Future levels itself out pretty nicely.

Ok cool, thanks guys. I was kind of hesitant about trying a clear coat for the first time. So this should be perfect.

I used to use spray Future with an airbrush but it took too long to build up enough coats. So I use either a paint brush or a Q-tip. And the other hints apply too. Move in one direction, watch for drips and I might add to keep the model moving around so the Future does not puddle in one area.
