I have seen videos posted by the ladies who do journaling and who make make decorated cards show stencils being used to apply curlicue and flower patterns to paper using Nuvo products.
There is no reason why this technique could not be applied to making raised repetitive details on tires, tank tracks, metal plates, etc.
They also make dots and patterns on a non stick surface with the Nuvo gels that they peel off and store for future application to paper or other surface they want to decorate.
If one was a paper purist, and did not want to use a plastic gel, it might be possible to make your own modeling gel by tossing paper strips and a few ounces of PVA glue into a blender. I have not tried this myself but it should work once you got the proportions right, and it could be kept in the squeeze bottle that the PVA glue came in.
I think there was a thread about this a long time ago on this forum. Maybe someone remembers it and can provide the URL.
The test rivets I made were glossy, but a dab of matte media blended them with the paper surface.
