For a completely dead-flat finish mix about 4 parts Future to 1 part X-21. For a semi-gloss or "Satin" finish mix about 6 parts Future to 1 part X-21. As always you should try this on some scrap to determine the ratio that works best for you.
Tamiya X-21 "Flat Base" is NOT intended to be used as a paint! I've seen numerous posts on forums where someone has used it alone and gotten nothing but a white, chalky finish for their efforts. This result is not surprising since X-21 is not a clear flat finish.
X-21 is a Flat BASE. It's intended use is to be mixed with glossy paints to give them a flat finish. It was never intended to be sprayed alone, and must be mixed with something or it will make a mess out of a paint job. I use it a lot with Future Floor Polish to give it a flat finish.
