carl i just remebered that micro mark sells a off white urethane rubber with a black pigment to add to it to make tires for rc cars and models. couldnt you cast it up in the black rubber then spray pretty much any silvers over it to weather them? if there not that flexible anyway wouldnt any paint be safe as far as not cracking? or is the problem getting the paint to stick to it all together?
