Here are some more tips and tricks I use when applying Bare-Metal Foil. This time putting the foil under the paint and polishing it out to expose the foil.

Thanks for the tutorial! I'll be trying this on my next build! To protect areas like edges and the marker lights, I plan to put a piece of painter's tape over those areas.

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

You’re welcome. Protecting the edges is always a good idea.

A great tutorial i use almost the same technique ,except i use a tamiya Q-tip dipped in thinner to remove the paint/primer,this technique works great on old vintage kits that no Photo etched is available.

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

Thanks. Be careful with the thinner. That could go too far to fast!

Thanks for the tip, looks very nice. I noticed you rubbed your thumb over the emblem before applying the BMF, has the oil from your fingers caused any adhesion problems?

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

No. But I wash my hands a lot with Dawn soap. You may notice the dry knuckles.

Great tutorial! I've heard of doing this but never seen any how too on it. I guess after the clearing process the lines from the foil get hidden. Thanks for sharing.

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

Awesome, saw someone else do this, I think it was Rob, but his method was a little bit different. I need one of those polishing cloths. Where did you get it, if you remember? Thanks for sharing this tip.

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

I think these were Walmart items. Microfiber polishing cloth. I believe it was in the automotive section. It'd been a while.

@LarrysModelShop 2 месяца назад

@@TheMuscleCarModeler Thanks, I'll have a look and see what I can find. At least I know what they are, shouldn't be that hard to locate.

@TerribleTim68 Месяц назад

That’s crazy. So the edge of the BMF doesn’t need any unique prep to keep it from showing thru?

@TheMuscleCarModeler Месяц назад

It shows up in some lighting but is buried in the clear.

Just curious....ever tried like maybe using sum thousand grit wet paper on em?

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

I like the rubbing compound. The sandpaper may be too aggressive for this. If you give it a try, make sure you stop and check often.

@GrandNational66 2 месяца назад

Enamel u can use a Qtip with the swab dampened in thinner & the Same with Lacquer just moistened not dripping wet or u will destroy the paint with Lacquer thinner squeeze it all out & rub over the top of the script. Just another method.

@Ken-sl4um 2 месяца назад

Would it be improved if one trimmed around each letter, at least in a case of such large block letters?

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

I have had an issue doing that in the past. I have had the foil lift up off the model during polishing. I think it was because it was too close to the edge and lifted. Having more of it under the paint seems to have helped but unsure as that has not happened in a while. But I don’t know if that was on a bad sheet of BMF as the quality has been all over the place in the past few years. I have had some sheets not stick well and some tear real easy but this sheet has been great.

@Ken-sl4um 2 месяца назад

Oh. also, where were you able to find that Testors green color? Thanks

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

It has been discovered. So I can’t get it anymore. I did buy the last bottle my local hobby shop had back then so I had 2 1/2 bottles on hand as I just found another 1/2 used bottle in my stash this weekend. So I was able to finish touching up the Cougar.

@blueline308 2 месяца назад

I don't make videos or go to shows. I build for me, and what I have been doing for years is spray Alclad instead of BMF. Let it dry completely, then clear over it, spray body color, then remove to reveal the badge. I don't like lots of paint or clear build up and this results in more realistic thickness of paint / clear.

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

Thanks for sharing. That is definitely a different way of doing that. When I tried clear over Alclad, it made it more silver than chrome. Plus I like the real shiny over restored look myself.

@sydneymartin952 2 месяца назад

Could you use a Dremel with a polishing bit on slow to do that or would it get to hot? Also how did you not rub the paint off around the word?

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

That I don't know. I don't have a Drexel.

@robertmann7277 2 месяца назад

I would think that it would work, just be extremely careful

@murraysheridan4797 2 месяца назад

Hi. Why don't you cut between each of the letters?

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

I have had an issue in the past. I used to cut them closer to the emblem but during polishing, had the foil let go and pull up from under the paint. So now I make sure to leave some under the paint and I also don’t put to much pressure on it when polishing.

@robertmann7277 2 месяца назад

Great idea!!!, could you use a Q-tip ( with the wax ) to really zero in on it? And if you really want to be anal retentive, you could use watered down putty around the BMF

@TheMuscleCarModeler 2 месяца назад

Thanks. You probably could use a Q tip.

@Ken-sl4um 2 месяца назад

Sorry, should have watched all the way through. Just another obsessive modeler
