RickRollerLT1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Is it any good, or is it shat like the testors stuff? Saw it at the LHS when I was last there and was just curious. TNX V, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernard Kron Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I've used Bare Metal Foil Co.'s decal paper for years. It's called Experts-Choice Decal Film and it comes in clear and white for inkjet printers which is what I use. They also make versions for laser printers in clear, white, gray and gold foil. I have no experience with the laser stuff but I can highly recommend the inkjet product. It's stable, keeps for a long time, and prints very crisply in a manner similar to high quality glossy photo stock. Used with a good quality decal film coating, the resulting decal is quite strong and easy to handle while not being too thick and responds very well to setting solutions . I've never worked with the Testors product so I can't comment on it or compare between the two.

Nick Winter Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) I too use the Experts Choice BMF decal paper, it's good quality, and I've yet to have a single problem. Nick Edit: I made this hood bird using the Experts Choice decal paper Please Excuse my blurry photo and still wet decal in the photo.

Harry P. Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Well, there's a new one on me. I didn't know that the BMF people even made decal paper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Anderson Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well, there's a new one on me. I didn't know that the BMF people even made decal paper! They don't actually make the stuff, rather they have sold clear decal film for a lot of years--stemming from when Eldred Mason of BMF was pitching the foil primarily to aircraft modelers for natural metal finishes. They offered a small line of aircraft markings in those years as well. Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
