is it a good idea to spray a coat of future over my car? i have put on the decals and put the black stuff in the panels. so yall ever do this? thanks- mark. [:p]
I have used future as a gloss coat before on a firetruck. Worked ok for me. Might be differing opinons though.
Take care when spraying future as it runs easily. Otherwise you get a high gloss finish with it. One thing to remember is that future tends to get yellow with time, I think I heard something abouts a new formula that’s not supposed to yellow as the old one. Maybe someone else allready know about this and can tell us more?

I’ve never used Future on any of my cars. I’ve seen too many problems with it as it ages, from turning yellow to even cracking the finish all over the car, including splitting the decals as the Future cracks. I’m sure this isn’t the case with everyone that uses it but I’d rather not take the chance myself.
ok, ill just use a gloss coat. thanks, mark.
I use future on everything, I haven’t had any problems so far. I just brush it, I don’t spray it, I find its easier, I can keep it from pooling by moving it around with the brush. Another thing with future is it acts as a solvent on itself, if the finish isn’t perfect just brush on a new coat and you can fix the bad coat since it thins out. It also protects the “glass” I coat all my glass when I first get the kit just in case I get glue on a piece, it has saved me a couple of times now when I touch a clear piece with glue or paint on my fat fingers, since I’ve coated them all I have to do is dampen a paper towel with some windex and wipe it off, ammonia strips future. I haven’t had a problem with yellowing but I don’t know how long that is supposed to take.
Somewhere on this site someone posted “The complete Future” which covers all kinds of stuff you can do with it. In case you can’t tell I think Future is great.
i do too, in armor, ive noticed in autos that it dont work for me ( not many thing do [:p] ) maybe i was born to build tank [8D]
i used future on all the auto kits i have built. it works fine. i used a sponge brush and get almost all the future out.
