    By golly . . . .you're right LB.  You're smarter than the average Chebbie guy!   Here's one I just did . . . . it had no silver at all when I started!  If I had a steadier hand, it would be perfect!  But looks great and you wouldn't notice that it wasn't perfect unless you got right on top of it.   For the price, its a must for everyone!  I'm gonna go buy a couple more . . . it cost me about $3.50.    :worship:  :grinyes:  :grinyes:  :grinyes:

    Some of the hobby shops carry some that are made by Tamiya and Bandai.   If you can't find them at the local hobby shop you can try online. The ones from Tamiya are enamel base paint.   Not sure on the Bandai.
    Tamiya, I know, makes them in Black (Gloss),Chrome Silver, Gold Leaf, White (Gloss), Royal Blue, Green, Orange, Red,Lemon Yellow, Flat Black, and Metallic Gray.
    Bandai makes what they call a Gundam marker (after the cartoons).  I they come in different tip sizes and have an ultra fine tip set that could come in handy.

    There is supposed to be a chrome foil you can get at hobby shops for model kits that applies like gold leaf.  I'm gonna start looking for it.  Sounds good for small parts repair.
