Silver paint for a touch up?

[Jimbobx]

My Optimus Prime exhausts have got some blue showing through. Can anyone tell me which paint would be best to touch them up.

Maybe Chainmail or Mithril Silver by Games Workshop?

Mate if they are a chrome layer over the plastic I would leave them alone as paint would never match. You can get a very thin chrome layer sheet from hannants.co.uk model supplies. Think it is called something like alclad?

The closest thing I've found was a plastikote spray chrome in Wilkinsons. It came out a very shiny silver, but was not reflective. I then discovered that if you used plastikote lacquer on top of it, it goes dull.

Thanks for the advice guys. (Not you Steve )
Any recommendations for the red cab bit? (Apart from just plain ol red - there's bound to be an exact match which is called 'london bus on a sunny day red' or summat)
