Mr. Moparman Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 Brandon, I realize that you are a young person here and I think you once said that you wanted to hear any and all criticism and I do apologize if I am wrong and I am only saying this to give you encouragement, not to knock you down. I see some sloppy detailing on the chrome trim and probably done with either a not too steady hand or you where rushing to get the job done. Slow down and take your time with this. A slow and steady hand will produce better results and in the long run, a better looking model. Can you go back and fix any of this? Maybe if you had masked off the roof with masking or scotch tape to do the trim, a better job would have been the result. Have you ever tried Bare Metal Foil? Maybe this is something you can try in the future. I know you are trying to make your version of the '69 Charger S/E that I built and I feel like I should try to help you along if you want my assistance. As I said before, I am not trying to knock you down, but I am trying to encourage you to try and do a better job on your Charger. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Yes I did say that on my first build here because I get picked on a lot at school so it is hard for me to take critisem without gettin mad about it. Yes I see what your talking about now. There is little specks of chrome paint all over the rear quarter fender. The problem is that BMF is not available in my area. Thanks though for the tip.
dwc43 Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Yes I did say that on my first build here because I get picked on a lot at school so it is hard for me to take critisem without gettin mad about it.

If I may add some to it as well, you can order bmf online of course. If you don't want to do that, try this method for painting the fine chrome lines. Get the narrowest width tape you can find. Narrow width makes it easier to force around corners. Tape off both sides of the chrome trim you want to paint and use a fine bristle detailing paint brush. Then after it has time to dry you can peel the tape back off and only the exposed area will have chrome paint on it. Hope that helps. We all have to start somewhere and I'm still learning a trick or two here or there since I got on this site.
