Great looking build so far! I use BMF for most of my chrome trim work. I do have the Molotow chrome paint, but not in pen form. I buy the refill bottle. It's much cheaper & lasts for a long time. Just use a paint brush to apply it, or it can also be air brushed without thinning. Both the foil & the chrome paint have their uses. The issue I have with the Molotow, or the product you are using, is the dry time. I usually let a freshly chromed item sit for several days for the chrome paint to dry enough to be handled. The foil is instantly handleable & it can be polished to a deep shine. On another subject, paint boo-boos are a fact of model building life. I also use Super Clean for paint stripping. It's great stuff. That is a nice Jo-Han kit, and I built one just a couple years ago. It was one of the prettiest cars in 1960. I look forward to seeing your completed build.

I'm digging the DeSoto and the color you chose for it, looking forward to when you have it done. I personally use Molotow pens, but I have a supply of BMF for larger areas like the side panels of 57 Chevys, for example.

@rod.reinert9847 Жыл бұрын
Very nice work. Can't wait to see it finished. Like the color choice. I have an issue with using chrome for what should be stainless. Stainless has a yellow tint where as chrome is more brilliant with a mirror finish. Most early car trim is high polished stainless except for bumpers and cast parts which are chromed. Beautiful job so far.

foil is maybe more realistic for trim, but markers are so much nicer to use. Those markers look great. Gotta git mee sum!
@mightymodelshopcreations Жыл бұрын
Yep, I love using markers because if you slip, you can just respray the car. but if you slip while using a knife you will have to fill it with putty, sand it, and then respray.

Chrome pen, Bare Metal Foil, or other methods like Alclad for chrome, which is my preferred method? All of them - depending on the situation. I mostly build “big rig” trucks, large areas such as fuel tanks respond best to Alclad in my experience. Bare Metal Foil is great for windshield moulding and around doors on some trucks like a lot of KW’s and Pete’s. Chrome pen is ideal for small items like free standing interior door details, lug nuts, and also for touch up.

Really nice work on the chrome for the body. I hope to snag one of these Desotos sometime! Nice build so far! Chrome seems to be one of those forever chasing something better. I like the ease of fixing a mistake with BMF and the durability. But the markers sure are faster but are pretty delicate. I struggle with both and go back and forth on the chromes. Seems like the BMF will give a wrinkled look and the pens dull out.

Thank you so much! This kit was originally a glue bomb, and I had to disassemble paint and re-assemble. I'll mark down a vote for both BMF and paint markers.
