gloss coating over silver

i was just wondering about this,i have a small plane that i airbrushed chrome silver ,i put two coats of Future over it before i do any weathering,before i weather can i spray it with high gloss laquer or will it cause the silver to “fog over”?

I would be very careful about spraying a lacquer over Future. I would imagine if you put it one to heavy, it will eat right through it. I would either find an enamel clear coat or just mist the lacquer on very lightly until its covered then spray a wet coat over that. Can I ask, why do you want to spray the lacquer clear over it?

Hey guys;

I’ve sprayed MM or Testors dullcote over Future on all of my models for three years with no ill effects. Just make sure you don’t go too heavy with it. Also make sure you get good coverage with the Future to seal the decals and washes.

i have a TINY 1/48 XF-85 and i airbrushed it chrome silve,just wanted to get more “shine” out of it

it was way too small to foil and has 6 tails and wingtip fins that would make metalizer a pain to buff out without breaking anything,i’ve yet to order and try Alcad II,they sure seem proud
