Hi. Can anyone give me any advice on how to achieve a quality finish with metal foil products. I've completed a couple of scratch builds where the body (32scale) has integrated lights, bumpers etc. Painting silver or chrome just doesn't look good enough. What I'm particularly unsure about is what sort of "adhesive" to use and also how to use it for finely detailed areas.

Any advice much appreciated.

Cheers

Kevin

Bare Metal foil is self adhesive and has instructions on the packet. A coat of clear over it helps to protect the foil.
