Jonah Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 Do I just paint over the foil or do I have to do something to the foil first? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 If you put a clear over the foil it hides the edges and a lot of the wrinkles. It just gives you a smooth surface to paint on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobP Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 I think it depends on how thin your foil is and how thick your topcoat is. I use adhesive foil that is pretty thin and Devcon 2 Ton epoxy that is pretty thick, so no foil edges show after painting directly onto the foil and then clearcoating. If you use a topcoat that is thin and requires multiple coats, you might as well coat the foil before painting. In the end it’s all about hiding the foil edges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
