chrome paint.

After repainting the grungy dash face plate in my 68 Cutlass what is used to redo the small border trim in the chrome looking stuff?

Most people use the silver paint pens. I have used them before but I just tried this on my W-30 and looks much better than the silver paint pens. It has to be brushed on but I used a Q tip. You have to be real carefull applying it but I could go a full length without stopping till the end of a run. I used a new Q tip with every length I went. I am sure someone handy with a brush could do better but I could not get the full length in one stroke with a brush and where I started the next stroke in the same line did not look good. I picked this up at Hobby Lobby

Thanks Eric. As soon as I can get near Hobby Lobby I'll give it a try.

Model car guys use a rub-on foil to simulate chrome. I'm not sure where to get it, but a search of model car sites might turn something up.
