Hi. Having fun building Tamiya's VW Karmann Ghia. But the bottom side trim (two horizontal trim pieces) are proving difficult to detail. I've tried a number of methods: 1) bare metal foil - but the trim pieces are really thin and difficult to cut the foil thin enough 2) masking and painting with a chrome marker - but the paint leaks through the paint edges 3) doing a "dry brush" of chrome - but again, rendering a thin straight line is really difficult. As of now, I'm think my options are to either sand off the trim and repaint or cut my loses and finish the model without that detail. I'm usually a stickler for detail, so I'm not crazy about that last option. Any other techniques you've tried out there? Thanks. Doug
