i caution you about the use of these items in an exterior use. they might
work. but! remember the items are intended for models and not exterior
aplications. the paints are more than likely photochemically reactive and
will not weather well in direct sunlight. the foil's adhesive may not
either. in direct sunlight it may lift as the adhesive becomes soft. it
may be worth trying but do not try it on anything valuable for an
experimental test bed.
in adition to the paints probably yellowing in sunlight there might be some
severe tarnishing or corrosion on the foil.
now! i have used some model paints with great sucess on replicated assembly
line ink stamps and colored assembly line paint marks on threaded items .
also the military modeling paint color zinc chromate for wire harness clips
under hood in cars also. but never for an exposed exterior item such as an
emblem or trim item.
please test the media prior to using it on something you value.
chuck.
