Shawn M Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 it seems to just be light residue that polishes out with a t-shirt so Im good there.

Shawn M Posted November 14, 2017 Author Share Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) last night: applied the 4th coat of future (1st over decals) built the taillights after chroming the bases made the rubber gasket that seals against the hood for the rad outlet chromed the wiper arm, number marker lights And found perfect orange beads to represent the "blinker" lights in the front housing. - While they are provided in the kit as clear resin, there was no way I was going to attempt to chrome and paint them... Then stoopid struck "future is dry, lets brush on another coat" Well, thank god the stuff is self leveling as all the brush marks I left in it last night are all gone this morning.

LSP_K2 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I'm curious why you're brushing it vs spraying it, Shawn. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn M Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I know I can get a smooth layer by brushing. If I AB it Im afraid of runs and pebbly finish. Big Texan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
