Bare Metal Foil and Clear Coat

So, for the trim pieces on these models I am using Bare Metal Foil, which gives a much more realistic look than just silver paint.  First, you lay the foil pieces over the part you are chroming, in this case the "Masterpiece" emblem badges...

Then you can trim around the edges with a sharp #11 hobby blade.  After that, press the edges down with a toothpick or cloth.

After that, I was able to add waterslide decals with the lettering

After adding the rest of the Bare Metal Foil, I sprayed my clear coat over everything to seal the decals and foil.

Here's another car with clear coat applied. After this the top just needs to be painted with a vinyl-like texture.
