I bought mine at Walmart in the cafts/stationary dept. make sure you get the wide tip. You do not want to struggle with going over it twice. I found practice makes perfect and when you do get started start with small items like ac vents or the glove box.

Almost forgot. The pen I got was made by Elmer's and is called silver.

Also I did mine with the dash off. Might not be as easy if still in car

The Parts Place and other places sells a "chrome" paint marker. I used a Terstors silver or metallic silver paint marker and it worked well. Years ago Terstors use to sell a chrome paint marker and it worked very well, I use to use it on my model cars lol.
