Rick,
That's the procedure that I use. The Future coat is great for a gloss coat
immediately before decals. I do the primer in Rustoleum, then the base coats
(usually with some shading) then a mist coat. I then seal everything with Future,
put on the decals and do my oil washes. I finish off with a dull coat, and any
pastels.
