Roadrunner Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 Another hood painting attempt, and another miserable failure. Back to the oven cleaner for this bad boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted October 30, 2023 Author Share Posted October 30, 2023 Finally! I now have a winner. I still had some "issues", but I eventually prevailed, and it's about time. I'll cover the majority of this with saran wrap prior to adding the BMF. I'll let it dry for a day or so first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Awesome job. Glad you stuck with it until you got the results you wanted. Question. What's the saran wrap for? I'm not familiar with that technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The saran wrap will just be to protect the black on the hood from scratches and dings while I add the BMF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 All three bumpers now spritzed with Alclad chrome again. One of the front bumpers is a tad better than the other, so I'll use the less nice one on this model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 2, 2023 Author Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hood now given the BMF treatment. I’m pretty happy with this, especially given my general unfamiliarity with the stuff. Still not quite as nice as I had hoped, but acceptable at least. Thoughts, comments? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted November 8, 2023 Author Share Posted November 8, 2023 I still wasn't real happy with the hood, so I mixed up a batch of semi-gloss Testors Dullcote/Glosscote and dusted it on. I like this much better now, and won't mess with it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 The Hood blackout finish looks great. The chrome window moldings are cleanly done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first foiling attempt in quite a while, and I'd like to think what I learned (what to do, what not to do), will come in very handy on some soon to follow projects.
