HI,
+1 on the hot sock and on chrome disapearing in the air. BUT it does look GOOD if carefully done. The old soft cotton cloth and heat gun trick comes to mind for a fuse such as yours.

Heat a small area up with the heat gun then quickly apply preasure with the soft cloth. You may need to HOLD preasure in concave areas until the covering cools.
Chrome always relects the sky and or trees, ground etc. can be a handful! It can also give you a sun flash that is no fun. Sailplaners use it on LEs just to get a flash effect for seeing a glider WAY up there.
