bob2 posted:What about just painting them silver?
I have lots of different rods - brass, nickel silver, plated, and solder-wiped. The ones I have painted silver look as good as the polished nickel silver.
There is a French company that sells pens with stuff that looks like chrome for not so cheap. See previous threads here.
Solder-wiped, interesting, I’ll have to investigate that technique. As for paint, do you have any recommendations such as “Model Master FS 17178” Chrome Silver or something else?
