Once you get the hang of it, the New Improved Chrome Bare Metal Foil is a very useful product. I have been using it for a few years on model cars for simulating bright trim and it gives very good results. I have tried the Ultra Bright Chrome version of this product and I DO NOT recommend it. It's a brighter chrome but it's just too thin and I found it impossible to work with. I do, however, recommend the New Improved version.
