A question I have regarding putting the bare metal foil on before the clear coat is whether there is a risk of damaging the foil when polishing the clear coat. Would you run the risk of ripping up the foil in the process of polishing and buffing? Also, what about using a Molotow chrome pen for window trim and panel details? If the Molotow was done before the clear coat, I think it would be protected and not damaged during polishing. Thanks for your comments.
