Please do not attribute that article to me. Swanny wrote that article and did a much better job than I would have. I wouldn't mind taking credit but credit must be given where credit is due.
I personally do not like spraying Future. I would much rather use Tamiya clear gloss but I do wish Tamiya had a Clear Flat right out of a bottle. I have seen many guys airbrushing Future with good results. I know a guy who shoots Future with freakin amazing reults. OTOH Future is very inexpensive as a modeling paint (Next time you buy hobby paint figure out how much you would be paying by the gallon/liter, then think about painting your living room at that price per gallon).
We have a company pool with a Jacuzzi and I was loungeing in the hot water the chemist who created Future. He was amazed at the fact that modelers use it for all the purposes we do as was the brand manager when I e-mailed him some questions for FSM (Paul Boyer and I are members of the same model club so he came to me with a question). I asked the chemist about Future and whether Future could be pigmented and he felt that we could use paint pigments to make a colored paint. I should give it a try some day with some MIG Pigments just for the heck of it.
Just think if pigmenting Future works some day I could be the Brand manager of SC Johnson's hobby paint division. I probably would have to also be the R+D department, marketing department, Chemical Process Operator (my current job mixing batches of Raid and Off), filling line manager, filling line operator, warehouse and shipping departments too. Let's face it it ain't gonna happen.
