Before you put get ready to apply the BMF on your Pink Cadillac, you need to be in the proper frame of mind. May I be so bold as to suggest a little mood music for the operation?

a pink cadillac, with a vibe chassis underneath! That is a cool and unique ride!

But I thought metal foil needs to be applied in total silence, lest one shakes, rattles or rolls a tiny bit and it ends up as a shiny wad of crap as has happened to me on occasion LOL.

SP, I am so bad at applying BMF that a little music won't increase the calamity. The tunes take my mind off how badly I apply the stuff. Hence, I kinda favor Alclad II 'cause I somehow manage the brush thing. :freak::freak:

I have had good luck with BMF. If you mess up, pull it off and start over. The key is to stay with it until you are happy. It is like wallpaper. Remember to use Q-tips or something to gently push it into place.

Have been using it forever. Just take your time, arm your self with some Q-Tips, toothpicks, new xacto #11 blades and a burnishing tool and get with it. Will dress her up! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr
