Re: Painting the "Silver Lining" on a Porsche 356A

Hi Robert,

the self adhesive foil is called BareMetal Foil. You paint the car as always, let it dry completely and then apply the BMF where you want it. In your case, cut a stripe about 6mm wide and apply. To get it smooth, use a Q-tip. Then trim the BMF with a scalpel or sharp (!!!) hobby knife (not much force is needed, don't cut into the paint). The result should be a perfect chrome trime that looks like a seperate piece.

I think there's a how-to somewhere here on AF, too.

Cheers
Sebastian
