    Thanks for the tutorial! I'll be trying this on my next build! To protect areas like edges and the marker lights, I plan to put a piece of painter's tape over those areas.

      You’re welcome. Protecting the edges is always a good idea.

    Perfect timing on this video. I am going to be building a car that doesn't include the decals for the emblems soon, and I had no idea how you did this. Thank you!

    Interesting technique. Am curious about the Dodge lettering sample you demonstrated as it looks like you left the excess foil and I personally would wonder how to remove the excess foil between and around the letters without damaging your finish?

    • @TheMuscleCarModeler
      @TheMuscleCarModeler  Месяц назад

      It’s under the paint and you won’t be able to remove it.

      For all his efforts I do agree. Immaculate job but let down by the rough cutting out. Happy Xmas.

    A great tutorial i use almost the same technique ,except i use a tamiya Q-tip dipped in thinner to remove the paint/primer,this technique works great on old vintage kits that no Photo etched is available.

    Thanks for the tip, looks very nice. I noticed you rubbed your thumb over the emblem before applying the BMF, has the oil from your fingers caused any adhesion problems?

    • @TheMuscleCarModeler
      @TheMuscleCarModeler  5 месяцев назад +1

      No. But I wash my hands a lot with Dawn soap. You may notice the dry knuckles.

    Would it be improved if one trimmed around each letter, at least in a case of such large block letters?

    • @TheMuscleCarModeler
      @TheMuscleCarModeler  5 месяцев назад +1

      I have had an issue doing that in the past. I have had the foil lift up off the model during polishing. I think it was because it was too close to the edge and lifted. Having more of it under the paint seems to have helped but unsure as that has not happened in a while. But I don’t know if that was on a bad sheet of BMF as the quality has been all over the place in the past few years. I have had some sheets not stick well and some tear real easy but this sheet has been great.

    • @TheMuscleCarModeler
      @TheMuscleCarModeler  5 месяцев назад

      I like the rubbing compound. The sandpaper may be too aggressive for this. If you give it a try, make sure you stop and check often.

    That’s crazy. So the edge of the BMF doesn’t need any unique prep to keep it from showing thru?

      It shows up in some lighting but is buried in the clear.

      I think these were Walmart items. Microfiber polishing cloth. I believe it was in the automotive section. It'd been a while.

      It has been discovered. So I can’t get it anymore. I did buy the last bottle my local hobby shop had back then so I had 2 1/2 bottles on hand as I just found another 1/2 used bottle in my stash this weekend. So I was able to finish touching up the Cougar.

    Could you use a Dremel with a polishing bit on slow to do that or would it get to hot? Also how did you not rub the paint off around the word?

    Hi.
    Why don't you cut between each of the letters?

    • @TheMuscleCarModeler
      @TheMuscleCarModeler  5 месяцев назад

      I have had an issue in the past. I used to cut them closer to the emblem but during polishing, had the foil let go and pull up from under the paint. So now I make sure to leave some under the paint and I also don’t put to much pressure on it when polishing.

  • @blueline308

    I don't make videos or go to shows. I build for me, and what I have been doing for years is spray Alclad instead of BMF. Let it dry completely, then clear over it, spray body color, then remove to reveal the badge. I don't like lots of paint or clear build up and this results in more realistic thickness of paint / clear.

    • @TheMuscleCarModeler
      @TheMuscleCarModeler  5 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks for sharing. That is definitely a different way of doing that. When I tried clear over Alclad, it made it more silver than chrome. Plus I like the real shiny over restored look myself.

    Great idea!!!, could you use a Q-tip ( with the wax ) to really zero in on it? And if you really want to be anal retentive, you could use watered down putty around the BMF
