As usual, great job on this, love the color you chose too. How did you foil those scripts? I tried doing mine and just couldn't do it.

Thanks guys! Kevin, I used the old BMF trick of foiling before painting, it's not too difficult. What I personally do is sand the whole body lightly, this ensures that your BMF will have some tooth and surface to grab onto. When laying the BMF around the script, don't be cheap, place a nice big piece around it, this way it will stick to the script well once you start removing the excess around the script. Of course, make sure you burnish that BMF very well into each and every detail of the script. Use a smooth round pick to do this but make sure you don't put too much pressure, you don't want to break the BMF. Make sure you get as close to the script as possible when cutting the BMF around it.

Go ahead and prime the body and let it dry completely. At this point you can go ahead and expose the letters using a very fine piece of sanding cloth, in this case I used 4000 grit but it is possible to use a polishing compound as well as a little bit of mineral spirits on your index finger and a piece of cloth. You can also add the color and even clear coat and do this step at the end, I just wanted to show this because I knew I was going to have some questions asked in reference to this subject....

Always thought they looked like a full sized vette wat got washed in hot water an shrunk! Very nice job Marcos. Funny how so few parts can make such a nice car!

Awesome job on a simple kit, thanks for the BMF lesson, they should paste it here to the tips, tricks and tutorials section.
