RE: Rivets for a barnstormer
go to a craft or fabric store and get what is known as fabric paint made by Plaid . the best color to use is Sterling silver.
it already has an applicator tip on the bottle that will make after a little practice the nicest rivits, screw heads and dzus fasteners.
if you make a mistake they wipe up very nice and can be painted over and chipped thru to show the silver.
good luck
