I have repainted the shields for the 3rd time now and even look better than last time. I could not find the nickel paint from krylon on the second time and I used bright silver which looks very good but I bought some rustoleum  that the sheids really looks like they been plated. Check it out, what do you think Ron? Icon_think Icon_think Icon_think  It says metallic but there are no metallic flakes in the paint which is better, go figure Icon_question Its a solid color like plating would be, no metallic Icon_thumbup
