BMF technique on fender trim?

[sjordan2]

For the experienced BMF users out there...

I'm doing a 1/16 build of this car and was wondering about the best way of applying BMF for the chrome trim on the fender radius (which also has a rubber insert. I don't know if I'll paint that or just leave it chrome.).

Should I take a thin strip of BMF and apply it around the arc?

Or should I take flat piece of BMF and place it over the entire area before I trim it?

Just trying to avoid wrinkles.

Go with the oversize flat piece. This stuff does not bend very well to a curve. You will have some waste but doing it flat is the only way to go IMO. Perhaps someone will be along with a better idea.

I don't like a lot of waste so I would make the curve from several straight strips.

I'll have to try those methods, Roger. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks, Roger. That looks like the most precise method, and I appreciate it.
