Kit Basher Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I am trying to put BMF on an unpainted body (the grille surround on an '09 Challenger). The foil worked fine on 3/4 of the area, but there is one small section where it absolutely refuses to stick. I'm using the same foil from the same area of the sheet, and it sticks just fine to my tweezers. I washed the area with Dawn, no change. Any suggestions? My plan was to foil the surround, paint the whole area black, then remove the paint just at the front edge where the chrome is on the 1:1. Since I would be masking the black to paint body color, the foil needs to stick well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I'd try degreasing with rubbing alcohol. And then I'd try BMF from another area of the sheet, or another sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 I keep alcohol pads for cleaning areas of bodies. If the foil won't can you use masking tape like Tamiya?? If the foil is old it could be the foil.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
