ok, my vehicle has been painted (by hand) so I need to do a wash, but I dunno if FUTURE can be applied by brush...should I use an alternative like Testors Dullcoat spray can so I an apply my decals and overcoat then weather?

Yes it works straight out of the bottle. What I do is to give a coat of future to the model, apply the decals, seal them with another coat of future, then give the model a wash, a coat of dullcote and on this finish the weathering process with drybrush, pastels/pigments, ecc...

don't do Dullcote as an alternative.. it is not an ideal for Wash or Decals...

You can paint future on,.. I've heard of a fellow club member doing it that way.. He said that you just need to go very slowly dipping the brush and brushing it on (to avoid bubbles)...

Future is better for the wash, because it will 'flow' easily.. also it is a very smooth surface, making it better for the decals...

Good Luck!
