That's awesome. I had no idea it was so simple and it's about time for me to start back in on the '81 Scirocco.

Great tip! Where do you buy the chrome marker pen?

Here's the link to the manufacturer, and I see them for sale from various suppliers: Amazon, Etsy, Blick, etc. Yeah, cool product.

Awesome. I am going to order some of this to try. I love restoration ideas as I am constantly restoring something. Thanks for posting.

Local art supply stores should have them as well.

Yep.. Since I am stuck at home there is plenty of time to do internet searches. Most art stores carry this as does Hobby Lobby. Shouldn't be a problem picking it up locally except that everything is closed.

Yeah, where was this technology when building models in the basement?

Another option is aluminum tape and an Xacto knife. That's how we refurbished the grille chrome on the Challenge AMC for 2017.
