Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Sharpie has gold, silver, and, I believe brass (or bronze?) markers sold separately or as a set. Staples stocks them.
My time is booked through the weekend but I've been meaning to try the silver one on some 1:43 models with side mirrors that the manufacturers painted over.
I can report that they work well on plastic amd the metallic effect seems "true" for the width. The tips are the usual narrow Sharpie marker width, so good for small detailing.

Yeah, but the tips are humongous. Hard to de small detailed work with them.
Hi guys thanks for your opinion's I think I am going to leave it the color it is now, but I still have a lot to do. After looking at it there is a bunch of detail from the hose reals on both sides the pump panel on the back, and the hose beds on each side of the pump panel. LOL not to mention the front grill and head lights. I think I will wait till I get my liquid Chrome pen I ordered from Amazon.
One thing I am bummed about is that even with the light coat on the bottom the imprint of Dinky disappears, I guess I will get over it!
I hope you all have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend!
Mike, sometimes I take some 3M cloth to the bottom side and that will make the lettering silver, then coat with flat or gloss coat..just a thought.
Hey Tom, the pens that I have come in 1mm, 2 mm and 4mm tips. Also, sometimes I will use a 5 ought brush with paint taken from the tip of the pen. Then you can really get the details.

Great scene Paul'.. You have some very interesting little people, and they sure like their DOGS'.... Nice looking Chrysler'...
1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. This was a car just like my mom had. I learned to drive in that Vista Cruiser. It became my car to drive when my mom passed away from cancer when I was in high school.

Thanks Ted...a dog once in a while is a great thing!
Lionlman...great scene...the griller looks serious with the chef's hat on! Curious to know the manufacturer of the "Olds" Vista Cruiser? I'm guessing maybe a Goldvarg, if my spelling is close??

Nice figures. I know the hot dog guy. Who are the other figures made by?
West Side Joe...I believe some Artista and some Preiser...the guy in the blue overcoat near the right front fender of the car is an "Omen," I believe

Thanks Neil...I noticed that brand on line...very fine detail and a nice assortment of "station wagons" of the 50's and 60's...

Okey doke. I'll look again.
Thanks.

Joel, thanks for the idea, I will give it a try.
Paul, wonderful scene and great looking Chrysler!
Lionlman. Nice car, I an old Buick wagon that I learned in, floated like a ship in water going down the road! LOL
Well I got my tires yesterday, but I am no where near ready for them, but its nice to know I have them now! Not bad, but not great either at $1 per tire.
This morning I rebuilt this Speccast White W22 UP truck. I added some Microscale decals and scratch built a deck plate and fifth wheel plate and carriage repainted the frame. I’m waiting for the Air Horns to dry then off to the Layout.

Lee, now that is a sharp tractor...detailed graphics and UP colors are winners! The 5th wheel creation looks real to me...once the air horns get up there, stand clear. Solid rubber on the rear...re-treads or brand new??
Paul. Thanks for the complement. Now this is “Uncle Pete” we’re talking about no recaps here to damage equipment when throwing a gator 😉
I love the White W22!!!
Very nice Lee, love the U.P. Livery.
