Howdy..

I was wondering what everyone thought was the best thinner for future was and the best thinning ratio's.. I'm going to be using it for a basecoat on a P51 mustang in British service .

I'll also be using an airbrush to apply it.

I've used future on armor fairly sucessfully but the last time I used it on an aircraft I think it went on too thick....

thanks in advance

You spray the stuff neat. No thinners needed. I spray at around 15PSI too.

I usually brush it on straign, in a thin even coat. After it's completely dry (2 hours) I go back and very LIGHTLY rescribe the panel lines just so the wash will have something to grab on to.
