Default Best way for aluminum/metallic type covering?

Hi. I'm thinking of covering a P39 kit so it has an aluminum/metallic type body.

Here's an example:

It's a small kit requiring only a .25 sized engine.

What's the best way to get this look? Should I paint or is there a MonoKote type product available? Or actual aluminum/metal type sheeting? I'd like it to be nice and shiny.

I'd also like to include rivets, if possible. Any tricks on how to reproduce rivets?
