Need to decide how to do chrome trim
tbill replied to SpencerC's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
fairly new to BMF myself, but it gives amazing results. I have yet to have it peel up paint yet, so, I want to ask, what kind of paint do you use [enamel/lacquer/ or ??] and how long are you letting it dry? when you cut the BMF, how are you doing it? I find a new blade is a must [i use an exacto knife], and I find the weight of the knife itself is plenty heavy enough to cut the foil, no pressure exerted by my fingers, just drag the knife along and let it cut. I wonder if maybe you have a combo of still not cured paint, and a little heavy handed on the foil cutting? -

I find I usually have 3 going at once. I am into tractor trailers, so usually its a rig, a trailer, and a car of some sort. as mentioned earlier, it's nice to have something to mess with while paint and glue are drying -

I hear ya, I did my first one at around 13 years old, came out pretty good for my skills at the time, no idea where it ended up. I also have another version of this kit, has parts molded in pink! my original build of this kit, I painted the body white and used the kit decals, from what I remember, it looked pretty good [for the time/skill set].

I don't know if i'd class myself as impulse buyer...........yet. since getting back into the hobby, I have been buying kits I remember building/ruining as a kid, or getting kits I remember from then, but couldn't afford at the time. I think hoarder is a more apt description, lol. then again, we all have an addiction to this stuff........ ok, guilty as charged, thought I could talk my way out of this, but who am I kidding..............I learned it from watching you [yes, you people here ]
