Rocky Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I have brushed Future (aka Pledge Floor Gloss) onto my F-4K, which was airbrushed matt gunship gray FS36118. The finish has a fine sparkly sheen to it. I'm not sure if its due to tiny bubbles in the gloss coating, or an interaction of the Future with the powdery surface of the paint, or what. The Future is in a container that may have allowed it to partially evaporate, so it may be thicker than out of a new bottle. Has anyone had this problem? Would it make a difference if I strip it off and airbrush the Future on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I brushed the future as well. can you successfully strip the future without hurting the paint underneath? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I kinda think it had something to with brushing it, but to answer your question; I have no idea what caused it. Out of curiosity, what brand of paint did you apply it over? I thought about using alcohol, but I worried it would attack the paint underneath Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck1945 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Have you tried just airbrushing more Future over the sparkly future?. Not sure it would work, but if it doesn’t you aren’t any worse off than you are now 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Beary Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Try rubbing it down with a rough paper towel or coffee filter to smooth it out and put more Future on it.. Flat paint usually takes more than one coat of Future. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
