I know you're a newbie, but you're asking questions that have already been answered numerous times. You might want to do some research before you ask your next question. Here's a start http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/79627-how-do-i-search-for-answers-already-posted-here/

What scale is the diorama? You might run into the situation where the text would be so small that font wouldn't be noticeable.

Great tip. A similar approach might be used to simulate carbon fiber.

I use a black sharpie

It would seem you have everything to do some testing...let us know the results.

A google search will answer that question.

Get a non-metallic color, then add silver Pearl X (available at Michael's) to it. Do some experimentation, using varying amounts of Pearl X, before you apply the finish coat.

I totally concur!
