Default Using Plastic Film to imitate Aluminum

Has anyone tried Plastic Film coverings to imitate Aluminum skin on builtup airframes? My thoughts are that it might be possible to to use trim cement to soften the glue and adhere the film without shrinking very much. Would the aluminum color film have much metal in it too block out the transmitter signals in addition? Aluminum paint just does not seem to do any credible job of the imitation. Thoughts are welcom from anyone.
Thanks - Darryl
