Hi all . Just a quick one , has anybody got any tips for painting the clear green on jet aircraft windscreens ?? im using humbrol clear colors , if i use my airbrush it tends to dry foggy and i have to either gloss coat it or use polish to get it clear again .. If i use a brush i cant get a nice even coat .. Any help would be great ..
Thanks

I am putting a tiny drop of green (or blue) humbrol enamel in future and airbrush it on.
it works like a charm. when it dris a bit foggy then an additional layer of future tends to solve that problem.

How does Future work when tinted with enamels? Sounds like a combination I wouldn't think of at first; two different paint types usually don't mix.
