Bare metal foil - explain it for me.
Ok, I have a Fujimi Benz 300CE kit. Problem being that the grille/surround are moulded into the Black hood...How the h3ll am I going to get this chrome? I will be completely new to BMF, so can someone explain how it works, whether its hard to master, and am I likely to get a reasonable result on something like this, its a complete moulded grill (ie mesh is moulded in, so is the surround).
Am I better off just painting it silver? I would like chrome. I'd also like to do it on the headlight reflectors and stuff too.\ Thanks guys.

Re: Bare metal foil - explain it for me.
Go for Alcad II chrome. The stuff is amazing and when done properly the effect will be just as good as the real thing. You can see it being put to use on my intercooler tutorial in FAQ.

Re: Bare metal foil - explain it for me.
My english isnīt too good but I hope this helps: BMF is very easy to use and you can redo it if it goes wrong. Just cut a piece of BMF little biger than the grille and pres it down with something kinda soft like these sticks you clean your ears with and then cut away the BMF you donīt need with a sharp knife. Itīs that simple! Ihope this helps and you understand what I mean.
