Black Window Trim - Black Chrome Bare Metal Foil?

[Tom Geiger]

I have a 20 year old Subaru with the black bmf and it's fine.

Chrome black, black chrome, that's the stuff. BAD stuff.

I Tried it and the black rubs off so l stoped using it better resuls with regular foil and black sharpie..

This stuff is weird ... everyone has trouble with it but all the black trim in the photos above .... window and side trim ... is black BMF. It didn't stick as well I know, but it's stayed all these years.

What did I do wrong?

It depends on what you're using it for. I used some on my Monogram Lamborghini Countach for the side windows and it came out awesome. I covered the whole part with a piece of the foil, then trimmed out the windows from the "frame".

That stuff is Garbage

I use regular bare metal foil and spray it the colors I need. The yellow stripes on this car are made from chrome foil airbrushed with Testors yellow.

What crown victoria is that, the motormax one?

Has anyone used this stuff? How black is it? Does it have a metallic sheen, or is it appropriate for the black anodised/painted trim on '80s/90s cars?

bestest,

It is a shiny black but I remember it being kind of thick and not that good to work with.

I've used it a few times & to me it always just looked black. The problem is, it's still "silver" foil underneath, so when you cut it there is a bright edge along every cut side. Plus if you rub it too hard, the black finish will come off. Solvents will also remove the finish, just like the gold foil. Steve

I recently bought some to try it out. Must say, not all that impressed with it. The rest of the BMF line is great.

Thought it would look like "smoked" Chrome or gunmetal like finish, but it looks gloss black to me.

[Chuck Most]

Best way to use it is to avoid it in the first place. Doesn't stick, easily scratched, and just looks like gloss black paint once applied.
