I'm thinking about spraying some silver nib with some transparent arcrylic paint, to make a shiny colored nib. I'm just going do a one or two layer of light coat because i still want the silver to shine through, so the nib would look chrome-like.. maybe a gloss coat at the end to make it extra shiny... So I wonder, has anyone done that? what do I need to watch for while doing this? would this rust the nib? thanks. edit: o.k, it appear that alot of people think i'm looking for a shiny silver nib.. i'm not.. i'm looking for a way to turn a silver nib into a chrome red nib... to match moonman M2 that have a red band... as in right now, I no longer thinks about spray painting, but still looking for a way to color the nib, without using paint. however, I been thinking about using alcohol ink to dye the metal instead... https://jewelrymakingjournal.com/coloring-metal-with-alcohol-ink-tutorial/ Update: I decide to do the smart things and get it from https://www.fpnibs.com/standard/205-9038-jowo-size-5-steel-nib-unit-m-tip.html#/ thanks everyone.

I have read here on FPN about spray painting preppies. (Using that special meant-for-plastic-spray-paint) I was wondering if I could spray paint a Pilot Metropolitan? I am considering purchasing the white one but I don't like the animal print design and was considering painting that part of the pen. I would take it all apart of course and tape up the the silver end and the open part very thoroughly. Any thoughts? Is it worth it to try or would it be a disaster? As the pen is only $15 I thought it might be safe to give it a try and it wouldn't be too big of a loss if it didn't go well. But I'd really like to hear what you think. Have you ever painted a fountain pen? How did it turn out? Did you like the end result? Tell us about it! Thank you for your input!!
