Greetings.
I have used dry pigments to mix my own metallic paints using clear acrylic, either gloss or flat depending on the effect I wanted. Pearl Ex (Jacquard Products - Pearl Ex Pigments) has several metallic colors, I think their range of metallics used to be larger. Their silver might be good for chrome. It is actually inexpensive, as a little bit of pigment goes a long way, and a bottle of pigment will last forever, unlike a sharpie, it will never dry out. The antique silver makes a decent gun metal and I use their coppers and bronzes on ship models. I am still using bottles of rust, gunmetal and copper dry pigments I purchased at an art supply store in Stockton over 20 years ago. Hopefully, there must be a few art supply stores in the Bay Area that have not been forced out by the absurd rents. |

If your banker is generous you could experiment with actual chrome plating (https://www.micromark.com/Plug-N-Pla...me-Plating-Kit).
I think paper could be chrome plated if it was varnished, and then given a coat of conductive paint (BarePaint - Conductive Paint (50ml)). Many years ago, I used conductive paint to repair an Atari keyboard, it worked. The thing to keep in mind is that the solutions used for chrome electroplating are nasty. |

Thank you John!
When this was available I used to use this and found it excellent. I reckon it would work like a charm for touching up silver printed models.
