sjordan2 Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 For the experienced BMF users out there... I'm doing a 1/16 build of this car and was wondering about the best way of applying BMF for the chrome trim on the fender radius (which also has a rubber insert. I don't know if I'll paint that or just leave it chrome.). Should I take a thin strip of BMF and apply it around the arc? Or should I take flat piece of BMF and place it over the entire area before I trim it? Just trying to avoid wrinkles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Go with the oversize flat piece. This stuff does not bend very well to a curve. You will have some waste but doing it flat is the only way to go IMO. Perhaps someone will be along with a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I don't like a lot of waste so I would make the curve from several straight strips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'll have to try those methods, Roger. Thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan2 Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks, Roger. That looks like the most precise method, and I appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
