I'm painting my plane silver with green sploches.Do I paint on my silver & green, then put on my furure and decals? Or do I wait and add my green after I put on the future ?And how do I seal my decals without dulling the silver or turning the green glossy ?

Hello,

Building a WWII Japanese plane?

You should first paint, then Future, then decal, then top-coat with gloss/semi-gloss or flat (depending on desired finish).

The only deviation is a technique for painting intricate camo. If you think the splotches might not turn out well, paint the silver and then apply Future. Future will act as a barrier between the silver and splotch; if you goof up, you can remove the splotch without harmoing the silver. The only caution is be certain that what you use to remove the splotch will not attack the Future. Undercured Future can be damaged by water.
