Very good. Henry himself would have been proud.
What did you use for the painted chrome trim?

Thank you colleagues!
Chrome is made using ordinary food foil.

REALLY. Now you've given me something new to try. 😎
How do you adhere it to the plastic / paint?

Tim, There is a special glue for gilding.
It is better if it is alcohol-based. It needs to be diluted, quite strongly, with alcohol. If you do not dilute it, you will not be able to tear off the excess foil.
But it can also be water-based, diluted with water. The diluted glue is applied to the foil, after which it must dry. The foil will be sticky, like duct tape.
