Bare Metal Foil

[MrJUNE224]

You know what i used to make my car look chrome up, I have BMF but I also used the tape to cover dryer vent it call metal foil tape . it work almost as good as B.M.F and i got a roll at a 1.00 store.. lol..I chrome everything now..lol.I love to walk into dollar store a buy stuff. i once bought 50" inch rim for my DONK Model from a ugly car..

@MrJUNE224 I think I have some of that will have to test it out.

good video, just a little dark tho. It does get the point across tho, thanks !

I have an idea: Have you tried putting rubber cement on the part to be chromed...and then cutting the strip from regular aluminum foil?...apply it the same way you did the bare metal foil...trim excess the same. AFTER THE RUBBER CEMENT DRIES. The beauty is...you can rub off the excess rubber cement... Yeah, it's thicker...but will work for some places...

Good video' just need a little more light. Good job.

Great Video... i have been experimenting with this foil on a B-47 model and have found a #11 surgical scalpel blade with a #7 handle is better than x-acto equipment and a bamboo skewer wrapped with teflon tape works better than a cotton swab(for me anyway)..super glue works well on the weird edges also...thanks for the tips!

Lol wow I never seen that b4 a double sided car two moters at first I thot I was tripn. But ur vid is great I learned alot not to much people would take the time to do this so detailed for people... Ur a koo guy

A great tutorial (I have that Chevelle model, but I'll be building it as a wagon lol) there - I have experimented with bare metal foil (certain Japanese Aoshima 1/24 model car kits seem to come with it) - i will say that a good modelling knife helps. I haven't used it extensively as yet on my American car builds, for the time being I painted in the crevases of the windows carefully with chrome paint applied to a small brush!

this is what I need THX so much

[anyshitt]

thank god for all you guys who bmf.. because if i had to do my own cars?

[gadejfan]

What r u supposed to b doing???

[Dilsterboy]

theres another way of useing this by useing Primi coloured pencils. i here it does work in the Scale Auto mag.

[chevelless70]

Ya & it's JUNK!

[cappy6921]

i use the strip method as well , saves alot of BMF that way.great tutorial bud.

PS BMF costs 9.00 per sheet here eh,,that suks.

[cappy6921]

also,,strip method allows you to simulate where chrome trim overlaps on cars , as i never seen a seemless chrome on any car.

[chevyken86]

great tip!! this is one of the great mysteries of modeling!!! i jus unlocked it not to long ago myself!! take care godfather2!!;)

[bttfspencer]

Good video Twiprod002.

I wish there were some tutorials on Wire ties and Flocking, I really struggle with PE Cable or Wire ties as they are commonly reffered as.

[stretch45g]

Thanx twiprod. Much easier to grasp a technique by watching a video on it. I definitely need some brand new knife blades...and a new pack of BMF

[bowtiebadboy33]

Great vid tripod!! I like doing the strips better than doing one piece too. That reminds me, I need to get some more BMF and some more knife blades anyways!! PEACE!!

[murcuryxr7]

i dont use the bare metel foil but i use this foil it comes in a roll and it works really good you peel it off and supper shiney and you get lots of it for 3 bucks i think you get the same look or even better i picked up mine at princess auto but if your from the states you probley have that store because i think its canadian but any ways great video

[acknonabug]

[acknonabug]

@twiprod002 can do

[bttfspencer]

You need to build a DeLorean model.

[MyAussieDay]

That's a great tip, just one question, were does the luggage go?

[twiprod002]

@MyAussieDay  I'll have to put a roof rack on that car...lol

[BBQ1752]

will aluminum foil with double stick tape on it work instead of the bare metal foil stuff or do you have to have bare metal foil

[twiprod002]

@BBQ1752 I;ve never tried using aluminum foil... This foil is made for model trim and is much thinner than aluminum foil...

[BBQ1752]

thanks how much does it usually cost

[twiprod002]

@BBQ1752 it's around $5.00 for 2 sheets.

[BBQ1752]

thanks twiprod
