Start by putting a NEW blade in your x-acto knife. When cutting the foil cut only the top metal layer, not the backing. To trim around a windshield, for instance, cut strips to go across the window frame (about 1/4 inch wide) and peel from backing. Apply these over the trim
making sure they wrap around the edge of the opening. Don't worry about the outer edge of the trim. Now burnish with a Q- tip. Repeat
same procedure for the vertical trim. After a thorough burnishing,cut along trim line(outer edge of window trim). Don't worry about overlaps
because they will disappear when you burnish. Doing any other trim is pretty much the same process. Just take your time when trimming and
avoid heavy pressure on the knife blade. You'll be surprised how easy it is when you get the hang of it.

To get chrome on larger pieces you can use Alclad II paint. It must be shot over gloss black in thin coats. (through an airbrush)The results,
however, are excellent.
