BMF Wrinkle Work-Around?

I really prefer the look of real metal over sprays like Alclad II, but I haven't been able to get BMF to follow tight corners and compound curves without getting all wrinkly at critical points. No matter how much I try to burnish down the wrinkles, they're still visible as thin lines across the smooth surface.

When I've tried clipping notches in the BMF, or tried to put separate pieces next to one another, I've gotten overlaps and gaps.

Are there any tricks to this? Any ways to smooth out BMF when it wrinkles at the edges of, say, a Baby Moon hubcap? Or on the inside edges of a window frame?
