Re: Gloss & Dull coats

That's what I was afraid of. A couple of waterslide decals have to go on areas that I have painted metallic silver, so I guess I will apply Future to those spots (and use Micro-Set & Micro-Sol). Afraid to apply the decals without a gloss finish.

Thanks for the info.

Anyway, for the silver parts I used Testors Gloss Metallic Silver Spray paint 1246 and afterward learned that Testors says it cannot be dull/gloss coate...

Hey Mascaw,

Did you locate these instructions?

I can provide you a copy of mine if you still need them. I have the AMT '89 Batmobile, but it is the first version (without the pull-out engine and pop-up computer panel in front of windshield).
