I used a fine small brush and flat model silver paint. Testors

I use silver paint pens. I used Testors and Elmers brands. Both work great.

There was a guy in Columbus OH who applied chrome foil to the edges. Henry Estheimer....He did a great job on mine. I have not talked to him for 3 years or so. Last I heard, he was ill, so I don't know if he still does them

You can buy dry transfer silver or silver leaf and do them... there is also a scale model product that looks very good... can't remember the name off hand though.

I used a Krylon Short Cuts paint pen couldn't believe how good it worked

classic industries has pre cut chrome stencil goes right on.

I sent the dash to my 69 out for restoration. They did the chrome trim and then painted the dash bezel. Looks factory new. Some "chrome" paints come very close if you can apply it carefully.

... there is also a scale model product that looks very good... can't remember the name off hand though.

I've used the metal foils used by scale modelers for years with excellent results.
One company is - http://www.bare-metal.com/
You can find these products at any good hobby shop.

I used the bare-metal product on an Impala SS dash insert and it turned out really good. Takes some patience and practice but looks better than the paint, which I have also done.http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/10/web/646000-646999/646779_87.jpg
