Chrome paint markers
I saw this subject come up in another thread, and don’t want to whore up that thread.
I see there are a few brands to choose from. What did you guys use or recommend? A few examples I found. Thanks https://www.inlinetube.com/products/...SABEgICVPD_BwE https://www.amazon.com/Molotow-ONE4A.../dp/B01E7EG3NM

Following. The one I got from Parts Place is just silver metallic Rustolium in a pen. I did see a post somewhere where some fellas had found an actual chrome looking paint. But I lost track. So, I’m following. Would like to know. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’d also like to know if it would hold up on exterior. The chrome around my ‘71 GTO tail lights was pretty much gone when I got it back in ‘07. I don’t even know if this was around then, but I used the shiniest silver paint I could find. Well, that’s yellowed a lot in the last 15 years!
I wasn’t kidding about the LeMans dash.

Thanks guys. I just ordered a set of the Moloto pens.
Anyway, I looked up on the Moloto website how to clean the surface for prep. No info that I could find. I figured I’d just clean with rubbing alcohol to degrease the area. What did you guys use?

I just use rubbing alcohol to prep area. Those markers work very well, and the "chrome" holds up.

Thanks for the reply. That’s what I ended up doing. I did a small section of the LeMans dash last week just to test them out. Looks a lot better then the Testors paint I used in the past.

Burd, You need to check out the Molotow pens that the other guys recommend. It is more of a true chrome than your silver Testors.

It is almost exactly the same appearance as OEM GM if applied according to directions...

Will have to try it the next time I touch up a dash. The pens from the parts place and others don't look chrome all. |

Scale model builders have been using these Molotow pens for years. Great option to chrome foil.

It’s silver, not chrome. People must have stuff that people penned years ago , and that re touching up
