    Nice results with the paint pens.

    I have used a Testors paint pen frequently and it works well. As stated, shake them up well. You can trim the tip to a finer point if you like. Another tip is to start it and blot it off a bit into a piece of cardboard. That way the tip is saturated but not dripping wet, easier to control.

    I saw Alclad mentioned on the first page. It makes very realistic chrome, but the downside is that it is very fragile. I doubt it would stand up over time. If you clearcoat it to attempt to protect it, it looks like any other silver paint. Really expensive too.
