espo-,

What do you think? It won't be easy trimming this to shape and I'm not sure about the texture in it. This was just a quick down and dirty trim job to see what my option was. I think I should go with the gold paint option and save this gold paper for what I originally kept it for, doing door panels on a lowrider.

Later-

I can see the pattern in the gold area and it looks good to me anyway. My question would be is this adhesive backed ? or do you still have to glue it in place somehow ? Looking at the picture it looks like you have chrome foil covering the whole trim area. I would suggest removing the chrome foil in the area of the gold trim unless you're going to try and just paint it in. The gold foil method is just my personal choice  and should not be the final reason for what you do with your build.

I wouldn't fuss so much about the gold area.  I just painted mine with Testors gold paint, prior to applying the foil so that the cut foil line would define the space.  When I do a wagon I will do the same.
