I thought I would experiment with my Aston Martin kit build...
I bought a pack of inkjet metallic foil sheets, and ran them through my laser printer, printing out all the sheets that were supposed to be printed on gloss gard.
WOW!!! The results are amazing!
I've stuck the prints with permanent spray adhesive to 110gsm card and will re-start the build using these sheets.
The bodywork (I chose the green version) is a really glossy, genuine metallic green finish, and the carbon fibre parts look awesome!
The wheel parts, obviously, look like turned aluminium.
If you haven't tried this method, give it a go.
You will be gobsmacked by the results.
Of course, the proof of the pudding, as they say.........
I'll post some pictures as the kit progresses.
