I won't future in the future. I did a custom livery, printed my own decals. Put 3 coats of Testors decal sealer on. Put them on the car. Let it dry
overnight. Put the future on. let it dry overnight. Came down to damaged and dissolved decals. I'll post a photo when I get home.

I used an airbrush on my one scratch build and it came out nice! I put 1 coat on before the decals, Then 4-5 very thin coats allowing 3-4 hours dry time in
between. This was a couple years ago and it still looks just like this. It hasnt got much track time though, the track has been down but it will be back up
soon.

BEWARE. Many great paint jobs have been ruined by clearcoating. I have used everything out there even Electrical Contact cleaner.
My money is on Testors Clear #1261 for durability. If the car is not go9ing to be raced, Future is great. Thanks Jim |

Future (Klear) is a gift from the Gods. I have a problem understanding why some people can't get along with it. It contains acrylic polymers and is perfect
for sealing a new paint job decals and all. Apply a coat thinly straight on top of the dried finished paint and before applying the decals this will seal the
surface and make the decals easier to slide into place. All categories of modellers use this product and swear by it. It's cheap, easy to apply, flexible,
hard wearing and very forgiving. You can give your car as many a seven coats allowing each coat to dry before applying the next.
