I have sprayed it but with a el cheapo sparay gun. In the winter I would have to heat it in the microwave for a few seconds to thin it. However most of the time I either dip it or brush it on with a foam brush. It is self leveling. I have dipped it a couple of different ways. One way is to leave it on the paint stand then use a paper towel to wick off the excess on the bottom edges. The secon way is I just drop the body in a plastic bowl of future and use two wodden dowels in the wheel well area or one through the glass to pick it up then set it on a paper plate. I shake the body side to side on the plate to remove the excess future.
I have sprayed it ofer glass and chrome with no problem. I sometimes put a coat on before the decals and normally put a couple coats on before I do my detail work as any mistakes are esaily wipped off with mineral spirts and a micro Q Tip. Besides I want my flat balck to look flat . Another thing I have done is mix black resin pigment with the future and use it to coat my cast in glass.
I posted this pic in the frustration thread, but I wanted to say thanks for the Future technique. I did a double dip on the 57, came out smooth and glossy. I can't say thanks enough for all the ideas and tips on Hobby Talk. It's a great place to be!!! Randy
