Hi,
Has anyone ever used the above combo with success for flat coating of your model. I used ModelMaster Flat Acrylic last time, and it never really did flatten the coat of future I put on for decals. If you have used it, can you give me some idea of ratios used.
Thanks!

Why don't you just stay with the ole Dullcoat? Works great for me.

The reason I'm asking is I would like to stick with acrylics and not use the laqueur based dullcoats. I have model master acrylics, but the last kit didn't get really flat after applying it.
Hey Stug...You can put a dullcoat over Future, as long as it's fully cured...Wait a day or so.

Have you tried Polly Scale Flat coat? You need to thin it 10-15% but it sprays fine and is very flat.
