                        How do you guys approach these delicate details? I am afraid that if I paint the mirrors silver chrome it will look too.....costumey....where as aluminum or something duller will not give the "mirror effect" if you will. How do you guys approach these things for say a Brand new Ferrari? And what would you do different for say a WWII British Ambulance? Obviously one should be shinier than the other I suppose? What is your best technique? Thanks in advance!

                        Bare Metal Foil would do the trick and it comes in several different shineyness flavors.

                        Heath,
                        Somewhere I picked up a roll of self-adhesive Mylar film - silver in color. It's very thin and extremely reflective - almost like a plastic mirror - much better than any paint.
                        Shoot me an email and I'll see about getting you a piece of this stuff.

                        Cheers, LeeTree
