Have a 72 Cutlass supreme and thought i would touch up the chrome trim paint around the dash etc. I was thinking of taping off what i could and painting it with a brush. Any thoughts on best paint to look like chrome?

 

I was thinking of getting one of those chrome pens that they sell for 12.95 , It would be easier than spraying or brushing but I dont now how good it looks

 

We used a silver paint pen from a craft store and it works great on the letters and thin siver trim lines, just have a steady hand.

 

I used the same pen, you can get it at Home Depot/Menards in the paint section for about 6-8 bucks, works great for the silver around the AC vents as well

 

Thanks guys! Did not know if the color arong the trim was silver or Chrome. Guess it has faded over the years

 

Excellent , I did not no big box stores had them.

 

by the way - the paint comes out pretty thick so you really need to practice a bit. Around the AC vents I tried to make one swipe of the pen down each of the four sides this way you don't have high/low spots or streaks. If you make a mistake it easily sands off

 

HAMM36 on this forum did a thread recoloring the dash 'chrome' with a silver "sharpie" pen. It matched the good looking original color almost perfectly.
In 72, I think most of the color was silver, rather than actual chrome.

 

did my 72H/O with a paint marker sold made by TELSOR part no. is 2546. They call it silver argent and I can't tell the difference from the original paint.
