Hi Mike, Thanks for your reply, I'm planning to mix a coloring agent in it because I want to create a red glaze, the more translucent the better as I want the silver spray paint base coat to show through the mix of Future topcoat. The paints I have are mixing pretty well, I will experiment. Edit: What product are you using to clean your brushes after using Future? Windex? I read that it is a liquidy product so I may add some acrylic medium to the mixture to give it more body, I will let you know how that goes.

Hello all, I consciously read the 14 pages of this thread and found a lot of nice information on this product. I' am painting miniature for tabletop gaming and not model cars, but, heh, this is all plastic kits we bring to life with paints! I have a few questions as the Swannys website is missing web pages here and there, -After reading I believe that it is best to mix Future with food coloring, got it. Can you please advise if mixed with water based acrylic inks / paint it's losing glossiness? (using Vallejo paints) -Can you use these same acrylic paints to paint over the Future ? (I'm planning on using washes and dry brushing), I believe so as Future is made out of acrylic, but the glossier the surface the harder it is to re-coat. same topic: Can I use a matte or semi gloss spray on varnish to seal the overall work ? -I'm planning on brushing it and I read that a soft brush is recommended to avoid strokes. I think this is what I'm currently using (good snap, spring and paint release) but if you have some more insights... I found a lot of useful information on this forum and will be checking it back. Thanks in advance for your answers Thomas
