did you spray it or use a brush? also what is this foiling i've been hearing about (sorry for stupid questions. new to modeling, trying to learn new things)

Bluemoose is nothing short of a rattle-can wizard. If you get a chance, take a look at his photo albums sometime. He also seems to have an aptitude for picking the "right" color for each of his models.

Foiling refers to a technique whereby thin adhesive-backed foil is placed over specific areas on a model where you wish to replicate chrome or stainless steel trim. It's fairly common to see it used on the trim around windshields, rear windows and on fenders. With a little practice, you'll find it can also be used in much smaller areas. On most modeling boards, you'll commonly see it referred to as BMF or Bare Metal Foil.
