Trimming

when do you all trim the black or even chrome moldings on the bodies?

do you do it before clear coating or after clear.

What are you talking about? :confused:

the window trims.

sorry i guess i could have been alittle more thorough huh.

Do them after, since window trim isn't glossy.

that was what i was thinking. cool thanks

I always do chrome (foil) or black (acrylic paint) window trim after the model is painted and polished, the last step before final assembly.

I do know that some guys like to apply the chrome foil and then clearcoat over it. I prefer the look of the chrome foil when it is polished out, and would never clear over it.

ya i guess it is just a matter of choice then huh. i was thinking to make it the last step of assembly becasue the trim on most cars, if black is not shiny, i was wondering how well BMF would adhere to the body after it was clear coated.
