Coats of Future?
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, April 8, 2003 11:02 PM
How many coats of Future does it take to reach the point where any more won't improve the shine? I tested Future against high gloss enamel, and it took four coats of Future to equal 2 coats of enamel. I stopped applying coats at that point. Just wondering when the gloss reaches maximum.

Thanks for the info. I am kind of experimenting with gloss coats. I tried lacquer, clear gloss enamel, and now Future. How many coats of lacquer do you usually use? I just put an enamel overcoat on enamel paint , and it lifted the paint in a couple spots. That is what started me on the Future.
