Glad that it helped anyway =D

As a side note, Future is liked not only because it's a cheap clear (and fragrant!) gloss, but also because it's, as far as I know, non-reactive - no matter whether the underlying paints are lacquer, enamel, or acrylic. In that sense, it's the perfect coat for both preparing a smooth surface for decals and as a barrier between the base paints and any weathering substances you may be using that would otherwise react adversely with other layers - this includes the possibly lacquer-based dull/flat coat you may be using to seal everything up. I remember one time when I painted an F-4 Phantom with water-based paints, decaled it, and then sprayed it with Testor's Dullcote without any layer on top of the paint - splotches and webs on the paint instantly!

And of course, since it is a gloss clear, you can use Future as the final coat if you want your model to have a glossy look, such as for civilian automobiles.
