Time for painting! Prop the trophy figure up so that you can spraypaint all sides of it evenly, give it a solid coat of chrome paint, and leave it to dry. I'd suggest looping some wire through the hole you drilled in the base-screw and hanging it upside-down to paint and dry.

I didn't let my angel-with-fire dry quite long enough (what with doing this mod in the middle of a cross-country roadtrip and all), so her paint got a little wrinkled and crackly. When I get around to it, I'll pull her back off and add another coat or two of the shiny silver.
