Can someone please instruct me on how to airbrush Future/Klear as a clear coat? Also I would like to know what you use to thin the Future/Klear so you can airbrush it? What is the ratio, thinner to Future/Klear?

Just like paint you want fine layers (2). I dont thin it , just use it straight up right out of the bottle. Clean with soapy water or a shot of airbrush cleaner then water

John,
I've tried airbrushing the Future on a piece of scrap, and I don't know what I did wrong, but it orange peeled severely (this was on flat paint) I didn't go heavy at all. Is there some sort of standard that's used by everyone? By this I mean is there a set pressure that's used from the compressor? I tried setting to different pressures, but the future also seemed to bead up on the surface....

Very light layers just out of the bottle. To clean a solution of 10% ammonia and 90% water...
