So it's not a model... but....

It's a project I'm working on for my friend. He has an audi s4 he's done some work on. He asked me about painting his dash. I told him what I know to get a decent job. I paint plenty of plastics obviously. So he went to it.... well needless to say he ended up painting everything. He got real hung up on his second coat and when he pulled off the masking he didnt like what he saw so he blasted the whole thing gloss black. He said he was just going to buy a new one. I said dude you drive a new audi... you aren't just going to pick up a new dash unless you pay an arm and a leg and possibly 18 teeth.... so I took it from him. I need some advice on painting a silver trim on the gauge housing. As you can see I started going around with a molotow pen but it doesnt transfer smooth enough. I've stripped the paint off and sanded and primed. Painted the face panel but need to smoother it out and shoot a second coat on that. Then I sanded and primed the gauge bezel and GPS housing. The bezel will be gloss and the GPS will be semi gloss.

You'd probably be better using bmf instead of the molotowe pens. The first thing thats going to happen is he'll give it a clean and the molotowe will just be ruined

You could also mask off all the trim with Tamiya Tape on the critical edge (you could mask off everything else with painters blue tape),  then give it a spray with Alclad. I don't know if you are using an airbrush for the gloss black, but Alclad also comes in a spray can.

I'm actually rattle canning and polishing the gloss. I dont like that route but that's what he wanted. I was thinking of alclad too. And since it's already going to have a coat of gloss black, it already has the base coat in theory. 

I havent used BMF before but do like the idea of polishing it and blending it to make it seemless.

You could always surprise him and give it this treatment.
