Cool Metal trims?

New bathroom large cream tiles. Customer chose a silver metal tile trim.
I dont have a mitre block just trim cutters.
How on earth do you cut the things. He also wants white grout which against the metal trim looks a bit naff. Should i advise a white trim or just continue unsuccessfully trying to cut the metal ones. Cheers

You will need a mitre box for the metal trims & a hacksaw. Ensure that the hacksaw blade sits right against the box slits.

mitre block and saw, cutters only do plastic, metal will wreck them, expensive cut if you try using them.

Done a splashback today with metal trims (infact think i will post a pic tomorrow of it, never posted my work before ) if you don't have a mitre box you won't be able to do a good job of it.
