Geno Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) I'm working on replicating the Danbury Mint model I missed out on and draws big money on the secondary market. I have it polished, the chassis and interior are done and the engine is almost complete. Quick question, if I BMF this before I clear it will it affect the foil in any way? Thanks for looking, Geno.

72 Charger Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 There should bee know problem clearing over BMF Paint looks great ! What shade is that and who is it by please Geno
Geno Posted December 25, 2015 Author Posted December 25, 2015 Thanks Dave, the color is Rustoleum Gloss Real Orange, it's the closet match I could find. It looks even closer in person than the pics show. Merry Christmas Dave.
Dann Tier Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 I clearcoat all my foil work with no issues. Beautiful build by the way!!
DeeCee Posted December 25, 2015 Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) The clear coat will not effect the BMF, however, the foil will look more realistic with out clear coat over it. It is also very easy to accidentally rub through the clear while polishing, and this will usually happen on drip rails etc, if this happens,you will see a difference in the finish of the BMF if it is clear coated. This is just my opinion, others prefer to clear the BMF, it is up to you mate. OH, and the build it looking VERY nice too. Edited December 25, 2015 by DeeCee
