decals over BMF

[tubbs]

doing a couple of thunderbolts. they have the decal that goes inside the chrome strip. will the decal stick over BMF? can I clear over that? or should I paint the inside black and trim the BMF on the inside?

thanks in advance.

Yes you can decal over BMF. You can clear coat of you want to, but you shouldn't need to.

thanks Jim, thought that putting the decal over such a non porous surface, it may not stick so well.

FWIW, Bare Metal Foil is not in the least porous.

Read again. He stated non porous which means he thought it would be too smooth for the decal to stick to.

I've applied decals over foil a few times on emblems. Just use some setting solution and seal it by brushing a light coat of Future over it. In your instance Al, I would paint the center and foil.The decals may not fit perfectly.

If that was true no decal would stick on polished paint. I do all my buffing and polishing before decals are applied.
