EDIT: I don't recommend using this wrap around this Monokote trim method I tried here. Over time, the trim strip lifted where it folded over the leading edges of the fins.
The trim strips can be difficult to set down parallel to the root edge.
Thin strips of masking tape were set down to the outside of where the chrome will set. It took a few tries to get the masking tape in line, something you wouldn't be able to do with the final chrome trim piece.
My Moonraker will be assembled in the "Raked" configuration with the rear fins facing up.
The ends of the chrome strips overhang the trailing edge for now.
On the left is the leading edge with the trim strip rolled over the tip.
On the right the chrome trim was trimmed off at the trailing edge.
The fit of the trim pieces was good overall except for one piece.
You can press this back down but it'll probably rise up again.
