I do it. I think I posted pictures here.
The big problem with mylar is rigidity in-plane. It will not conform to compound curves like the template < Insert jumping up and down with steam coming out of his ears Yosemite Sam GIF >
It will bend a radius fine.
For the compound curves you can cut pie slices of it, and not quite butt them, and be left with some ridges to sand off where the mylar does not cover.
