These particular chrome trims are about 1.4 mm wide.
I have never had much luck painting them on. Are there decals, or thin chrome strips, or some other secrets to make them less sloppy looking?
Bare Metal foil, a thin metal foil with an adhesive backing that is placed over the strip location, trimmed to size and buffed down. Looks quite good, and is much easier and *much* cleaner than painting. It will take a bit of practice to get good at application but it pays off in the end with much better looking models.
