It wasnt the metalizer paints. I used Model Master chrome foil. I would not suggest it

Haven't tried that either.  One method at a time.  Thanks for the heads up though, cross that one off the list of things to try. (in the modelling world)Whistling [:-^]

DUDE! I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YA!!!!!

I just recenetly picked up some Model Master Chrome BMF and I hate it!

The thing was though, I felt that it was thinner--and a lot harder to work with! I hate, HATE the glue that they use on it--what a PITA! I found that it ripped a lot easier, and was a lot harder to burnish down as a result---I'll never purchase it again. 

Bare-Metal BMF is the way to go!

As far as your SuperBird goes, I think it looks fine, to be honest!

Well heres is my latest project. I am normally a tread head but wanted to try a 1970 Plymouth Superbird. Its the old Monogram kit that I got at a swap meet. Im building it pretty much OOB with just a few add ons. How does it look so far? Im not happy with the chrome foil. I used model masters which was thicker and stickier than I am used to. Thinking of redoing it. What are your thaughts?
