Zmodeller adding chrome (UV mapping?)

[Deactivated Member 0]

So I'm trying to mod the Granger a little, and I want to take the chrome from the front grill area and use it in other selected places around the vehicle (window frames etc.)

 

So taking the material used here

 

 

and using it here

 

 

What's the easiest and best way to do this? Read something about UV mapping, tried playing around with it but no success.

Select the parts in Polygon mode, then Right click > UV Mapping, and select "force material" choosing the chrome material the grille uses.

It uses the material vehicle_generic_detail2, which relates to a texture in vehshare with lots of other textures

 

 

If I select the parts I want to chrome, right click, UV mapping, generate new, force mapping and select this material, I end up with this

 

 

I presume there must be a way to select a single element from inside that large texture image? Even then, how do you know which texture matches the grill...
