Wow the BMF technique is awesome. I'll use that on the next Impala I build!

That BMF really does add a nice touch.

Re: In Progress: 1967 Plymoth GTX

Builder,
That`s a great result on the BMF, IMO!
What are your thoughts on the duplicolor? I have been using it wherever I can, and I dont think any others come close as far as complete coverage.

Very nice

Just a question about your BMF technique. I guess you removed the excess of BMF around the logos before you painted the green?

Re: In Progress: 1967 Plymoth GTX

Thanks everyone!

Hawk312, I love Dupli Color!
They do cover well and they have an outstanding range of colors. I do have a problem getting a glossy finish most times resulting in a lot of clear coats and polish!

Deedlit, I removed the majority of the BMF before painting. Be careful when doing this as it is easy to peal up the BMF, or the knife blade can leave marks that will need to be sanded out. I did this and had to sart over and sand the fine cuts out of the area.

Another update will be coming this weekend.

Chris

Re: In Progress: 1967 Plymoth GTX

great job on that bare metal foil. I have to try that. What do you use to stick it to the surface?
I've tried using some silver leaf type stuff but it won't stick to any glues that I've got.

BMF is self-adhesive.

Re: In Progress: 1967 Plymoth GTX

Another update.
Body clear coated and the top was painted Satin Black.
I am now ready to BMF window frames.







Any feedback on what color to do the panel lines?

Thanks for looking.

Chris

Enjoy!
