I use flat black paint with a fine brush and lots of cussing. I'm going to have to try the sharpie. I never thought of that.

The only major problem with the Sharpie is if you screw up and go "out-side the lines", you need to move like greased lightnig to get it off because it does dry so fast. I tend to have beter control with the Sharpie than with a brush.

i use either chrome paint with a fine brush on my petes to make it look like the stainless trim. i used bare metal foil once. i liked the painted look alot better. bmf in my opinion isn't as realistic. when i want the "factory" look. i used matte black and fine brush with alot of light.

I used a Silver Sharpie on side trim & got more on the paint than the trim. KennyMac eased my panic by saying "The Last Detail' model wax & a QTip would fix my boo boo. Sure enough, several hours after I messed up, I tried it & it came right off. Very little pressure is needed & I was able to get close enough to the trim, so I didn't have to redo it. It works on black & red Sharpie also.
BTW: I found the silver Sharpies in a 2 pack at WalMart. You do need to store them point end down.

Electrical tape? Interesting. How do you deal with the shine?

Jim, actually , there are TWO KINDS of Silver Sharpie markers . One is a water based paint . Theese are fairly easy if ya make a mistake . The paint is slower to dry and if ya do make a mistake , take some Novus or C. D . polish and buff to the lip where it spilled over . The other type is what Sharpie calls Perminate . This paint dries quickly ...........
