• Anyone heard whats happening regarding Bare Metal Foil?..........either New Improved Chrome or original Chrome....lol.. *NM*
  • I think the new and improved is ok. It's the real shiney stuff that is too much like aluminum foil and doesn't work well. *NM*
  • Their website still shows all except black and gold as out of stock... Not a good sign. *NM*
    • Thats the problem.......availability, been using the New Improved but thought you US based guys might have a handle on whats happening.....I'm ever hopeful........lol. *NM*
      • I emailed Randy a few weeks back, and he said it was a supplier issue. However, some people on that social media site say he's having health issues. I am hoping it is a supply issue and will be corrected. *NM*
        • Had heard similar. Hoping for good news on both fronts *NM*
          • There are Japanese companies that have the same product. I'm sure it'll be pricey though. *NM*
            • Bill.....any searches I do just come up with BMF but no one has any......any chance you could name these other alternative foil companies?......thanks. *NM*
              • Tamiya 87226 Aluminium Adhesive Ultrathin *NM*
              • " Ammo by mig" is a brand I've seen. Correction: Made in Spain. Is it any good? I don't know. *NM* *LINK*
                • And of course both the Tamiya & Ammo stuff does not appear to be in Oz....lol......why am I not surprised...at least I've still got Molotow pens......lol. *NM*
                  • Can't you mail order it? *NM*
                    • Yep,probably could but ordering something I'm not sure is exactly what I want & then having to pay the postage on it starts to get lame, I'd happily order BMF but no one has any, anywhere,so its between a rock & a hard place...do you know anyone who's used these products?. *NM*
                      • Andy, I just found the AMMO/mig foil in my stash. Must have bought it a while back. Anyways, it has a grain in it, almost like brushed stainless, but very fine. I think it'd work on things like windshield frames, but there is one draw back: it is a little thicker than BMF.
                        • I'd also be interested to hear your assessment, Bill. *NM*
                          • My assessment: Too thick, a bit difficult to cut, the grain is too noticeable. Also, sometimes I like to cut thin strips and apply them. That would work, but it really does not like bending, not even on a slight curve. This probably would work well on large panels, like
                            • Doesn't sound encouraging for our needs then. *NM*
