Hi all

I’ve tried the Future route and I’m still struggling, keep getting patchy effect.

Anyway going to try Tamya Acrylic Flat base mixed with Future to see if it indeed does hide the patchy effect.

Can Tamiya’s Acrylic Gloss coat be used as a gloss coat instead of Future?
If so are there any problems with this approach?

Secondly can Tamiya’s Acrylic Flat Base be used as a flat coat all by itself or must it be added to something like Future?

I did get some Tamiya Acrylic Thinner to be added as well.

Thanks

Tamiya’s Flat Base cannot be used by itself. It must be used only as a flattening agent for other paints. I’m not sure, but I think it works well with Future (I haven’t tried it myself).

Tamiya flat base and Future work well together. It only takes a little flat base to get a matt finish. If you use too much your surface will have a chalky look.
