I don't know if this is a commonly used procedure or not among modelers here. I didn't find anything in a search, so I'll share the results of my first attempt at using Alclad II Chrome on some window trim. I've not been terribly happy with BMF, and aluminum foil tape has a limited range of applications, so I decided to give Alclad a chance. I masked the back of the windows with cheap tape and the front with Tamiya tape then trimmed to expose the target area. First sprayed with gray primer, then high-gloss Model Master black enamel, and finally some Alclad. I like the look.

I was just thinking about this the other day. Thanks for the post. It looks pretty good!
