Pat Minarick Posted June 7, 2015 Author Posted June 7, 2015 Without doubt, the most believable slightly-weathered bare metal finish I've seen so far on a model. How'd you do it? Thanks Bill . I just covered it with BMF ,then sanded it with some sand paper on the end a penchil.Then washed over with a real thin rusty wash,and resanded.This is the first time trying it and I will try again.
Rotorbolt73 Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Impressive technique and great realistic results.
Mooneyzs Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Pat... I am totally impressed by the Bare Metal Foil trick you did there. That looks awesome and gives it a killer look. I may have to give it a try sometime. Awesome Job on this.
Stray Posted June 7, 2015 Posted June 7, 2015 Simply great finish quality. It really does look like bare metal.

I hate polishing paint anyway.

Spex84 Posted June 8, 2015 Posted June 8, 2015 That's awesome. I don't see any seams in the BMF. Did you use a single piece for each major body panel? How did you avoid wrinkles??

Thanks Chris. If you rip the foil and not cut it leaving a sharp edge, you can hide seams pretty good. It helps hiding the seams when you sand it.I used big piece when I could and in a few tight places I used a little stainless steel metalizer.For the first time doing this, I wished I used something with less curves
Pat Minarick Posted June 10, 2015 Author Posted June 10, 2015 This one should be done this weekend,so I can finish up another build thats been sitting around too long.
oneescalante Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Killer build all around! The hood hinge is brilliant.... "rip the foil" lol That goes against every tutorial I have read on bmf...so far. Again awesome build!!!!
Spex84 Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 Rip the foil? Whaaaat?...I'll take your word for it, and maybe I'll give it a try. Because that is such a cool and convincing finish.
Dominik Posted June 10, 2015 Posted June 10, 2015 wow...crazy "paintjob"...thats a really good idea with the foil! i have to make a DeLorean and would try with alclad. but as i saw your BMF-result, makes me think about it. just cool!

Thank you, Dominik .you should try it out,just brush it all in one direction. Looks so realistic. Amazing. I love it.. Thanks Carl.
Mooneyzs Posted June 12, 2015 Posted June 12, 2015 Hey Pat... I got to thinking... did you primer and block out the body before you added the Bare Metal Foil??
Pat Minarick Posted June 13, 2015 Author Posted June 13, 2015 Hey Pat... I got to thinking... did you primer and block out the body before you added the Bare Metal Foil?? Nope, I went right over wet sanded plastic.
