Is Future Floor Finish still available?

I haven't used it in awhile and the bottle I had became cloudy and was disposed of.

Is it still available and where can it be purchased?

I went looking for it recently and couldn't find any at any local stores.

I have my Ho late model sportsman bodies and a 1/72 F4U Corsair model needing clear coat.

Any help or info would be appreciated.

Thanks again!

What it looks like now



And it's the only clearcoat I use.

Awesome!

Thanks guys!!!

I had thought I read some where here on the board awhile back that some one had acquired the original Future.

I will look for the new packaged version.

The late model sportsman bodies and my corsair airplane kit came out very nice painted and decaled. I would hate for a "Hot" clear coat to screw them up now. Had I used Duplicolor base coat spray paint like usual I would use the Duplicolor clear also. But I grabbed various spray cans of paint I had on hand so the safe bet is to future floor finish them for clear coat as to not screw up the paint or decals.

Again many Thanks to everyone for this info. I just need to track this product down at our local grocery store now.

You have to be careful when you clear coat a car, especially if it has decals on it. I have used Future for years and in my experience it is not durable enough to protect the decals on a car that will be raced or even handled a lot. If you use a clear that is the same make as the colored paint you should be OK, except for the decals. Automotive clears are usually very hot and will attack decals as well as non-automotive paints. I use Testors clear and I have also had good luck with Krylon Crystal Clear. Future is water based and will not attack decals. Brushing Future on inkjet printed decals can cause them to smear unless they have been sealed with something like Testors Decal Bonder. After I put decals on a car I give them a couple of coats of Future, that acts as a protective layer to reduce the chances that your clear coat will harm the decals.

Wayne just out of curiosity wouldn't the Corsair be a flat finish?
