Painted Black Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 This is new to me, been to a couple of web sites, Autoworld, FreeTime Hobbies, and did a search for BMF and or Bare Metal Foil, NO Results..Is this stuff got a different name or something, just can not believe AW has no listing.. Thanks Also, can anyone recommend a good online source for modeling supplies?
Plowboy Posted July 7, 2020 Posted July 7, 2020 If you want the best BMF, buy it directly. Just go to bare-metal.com and place your order. I won't buy foil any other way.

No telling how long someone has had it. I bought some at hobby shop at it was junk. It just does sorta wrinkles up after a time.
StevenGuthmiller Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 While I agree that getting it directly from the source is probably the safest, it doesn't guarantee a good sheet. Age and mishandling may cause cracking, but a pebbly texture, wrinkling and often insufficient adhesive comes right from the factory. The last sheet that I purchased had this going on in a couple of places. This is a factory defect. Doesn't much matter where it was bought. Steve
