Create your own TrimFilm Colors
BY CHRISTOPHER PALOMAREZ

There have been many times when I would be seeking a color match between
paint and TrimFilm. A late night epiphany and experiment led me to a
discovery. I discovered by painting clear TrimFilm with the desired color you
will be able to decal with matching TrimFilm colors. This really frees up the
modeler to use whatever color paints and allows for a few tricks to
precisely apply paint where it would be time consuming and hard to mask.

Painting TrimFilm works best with enamel type paints. Water Soluble
paints tend to not adhere to the clear TrimFilm as well as the enamels do.
Airbrushing works the best as it keeps the decal film thin and easily disguised
when applying the MicroSet and MicroSol solutions. Airbrushing also allows
you to gradient between clear and the painted color to simulate
overspray. I have successfully used Floquil paints without having to put a clear
cote on top prior to being set in water. Other paints might require an over
cote with Microscale's Liquid Decal film prior to be set in water. It's best
to test your painted TrimFilm first if you are uncertain of the results of
being set in water.

There are just so many ways one can use this technique to accurately
represent what is depicted in reality.

The application to which you can apply this method is limitless. A few
have used this method to add anti-glare to the top of the noses on diesels. I
have used it for patching boxcars and simulating the repainted repaired
areas from the car shop. I'm sure if someone wanted, and with enough
patience, you can make your own stripes too!
