Kerwin Dale Ng i drill a small hole in the body and in the mirror and insert a small piece of round plastic or metal tube in it. And then put it in place after paint.

Hey, why don't you go over the foil with a pen where the metal separates on the full scale? Then you still have the accurate look.

Great work with the bare metal. Would it have been better to do the bare metal before clear coat and then it would have been sealed in and not at risk of damage when installing the body over the chassis? Whenever I have used bare metal I am always nervous about damaging it with something before the model is finished.

@TheScalemodelingChannel 7 жыл бұрын

You could seal it with clear, personaly i don't do that anymore as it gets a strange orangepeely look on the BMF

@smeosky 7 жыл бұрын

Great video! Always wanted to use this stuff but never have. I assume you do all your clear coating and buffing before applying the BMF? You probably never want to clear coat over it, right?

You can clear over it. I preffer not to as it will look a bit more realistic without clear from my experiance.

@villelipponen923 2 жыл бұрын

Could you just make a template out of masking tape, and cut it more accurately out of the backing paper. Then there would be smaller pieces left for smaller details? Or does the masking tape ruin the foil? I'm interested trying this, since I've done all the chrome details with molotow liquid chrome marker. Works really good on larger surfaces like wheel lips and headlight reflectors. But on window trims, you need masking and all that stuff to make a straight line with marker. Is the foil very fragile, can I just cut thin strips out of it to apply on straight lines?

@TheScalemodelingChannel 2 жыл бұрын

The foil is fragile and easily nicked/ripped. So masking directly on the foil could damage it. Thin strips can be cut, yes

@thadrepairsitall1278 2 жыл бұрын

Does clear coating the foil in gloss make it more chrome like?

No, not at all. Just protects it. Since it is real metal. You can gently polish it to make it more shiny

The chrome pen does not do the exact same. Its a different method, that cant be used in the same ways as the foil can. I preffer the foil for these kinds of jobs. The pens for the small details like buttons or highlight pieces around a model.
