Ray Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 The picture is kinda crappy but you get the idea. Worked awesome after primer. Hopefully after paint I get the same results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Kingsley Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 I've been doing this lately too...I had some problems with it when I first tried it out, but I think now I've got it. I used to leave too much BMF, and you could see the outlines under the paint. Not now, though! It especially works great for what you did, the letters on the tail panel. I did two Pontiacs with that, and it was a real life saver!! Might have the 69 Firebird done this week, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Modeler Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Looks good to me. Gotta give this a try myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted September 9, 2006 Author Share Posted September 9, 2006 Thanks, the paint is a little more stubborn to off. The primer came of easily but i'm having to really use some elbow grease to get the paint off. Still looks way better the foiling after though. Will continue to use this trick.

mrglubaum Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 That looks great! I've been meaning to try this soon, but I do have a question. Should the paint be removed from the letters after priming, and again after painting, or is it better to just leave it until the final paint is on to reduce the risk of rubbing through the foil?

Ray Posted September 10, 2006 Author Share Posted September 10, 2006 yeah after priming and after painting. this is how i did it because that is how they say to do it in the tutorial in the tips, tricks section. I guess you could try the other way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, The reason to do it after primer is that if you do it only after paint, you'll most likely end up with a primer colored edge outline.
