What is Bare-Metal Foil?
Bare-Metal Foil is an adhesive backed metal foil but if you’ve never used it, and I guess that’s why you’re reading this review, then you will probably be concerned (as I was) that it’s either so thick that it obscures detail or so thin that it tears at the slightest touch. Don’t worry. The foil is thin but it’s tough too. Tough enough to withstand the rigours of application (see below) but at the same time it won’t obscure detail. In fact you need to make sure that the surface that you apply it to is blemish free because any marks on the surface being covered WILL show though. Bare-Metal Foil is available in several ‘colours’ including gold, copper, a couple of different types of aluminium, and chrome, however my favourite is the Ultra Bright Chrome because although I feel it’s possible to achieve, for example, an acceptable aluminium finish using paint, it’s very difficult to reproduce a good shiny metal effect with paint and that’s where this product excels.
