Budget Dullcoat/Flat Option

Postby HomeRacingWorld » Thu Sep 01, 2016 9:10 pm

In the search for lower cost Pledge Floor Shine (Future) some of us have seen this at the local Dollar Tree/Dollar General.

It might have other names at your local. One thing I can tell you, there is NO SHINE to this. It is actually very dull.

Shotgun Dave pointed it out to me that it is a great dullcoat/flat option when you want to do some weathering, etc.

So I tried it. I had layed down some Future on the latest Camaro and of course some of it laid into the front "bolt on" nose section.
Well I didn't want gloss here as most of them come out of the box in a satin appearance.

So using a brush I went over the nose and allowed it to dry. PERFECT. It returned it to the finish I wanted.

To better illustrate, here is a very glossy sign that shows you the effect it brings when dry.

Anyway, it works well and brush clean up is easy with water.

It cost a $1.00 at my Dollar Tree and almost the exact same brand at my Dollar General is $1.75

Just an option.
