kilrathy10 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Yes, Sir....Nothing like the Sun for a great set of pics....I really love the paint job....Still amazed at how good that tin foil and spray glue idea has worked out....Absolutely, gonna have to try that....Would have looked pretty good in white, but that aluminum look makes it look awesome.....

tbill Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 thanks guys.

Plastheniker Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Tom, admittedly I am not a big fan of modern trucks, but this is an impressive and very clean build. I agree, the colour looks much better under daylight. BTW for large areas with natural metal finish I tried as a substitute for Alclad and BMF inexpensive and easily to obtain thin household aluminum foil and Micro Metal Foil Adhesive. It is easy to use (water-based) and gives good results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did in fact use tin foil for the sides of the trailer, but used 3m spray adhesive. I was pleased with how that came out for a first try doing such a thing, and as usual learned a bit while trying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
