Default GP Floats on GP 60 Cub

I'm ready to give my glassed 60 floats a final coat of resin, after which I'll be ready to prime and paint.

This is my first RC project, but I've come a long way. Here is my understanding of the detailing process...

1. Prime the floats
2. Add panel line tape
3. Add rivets by using a syringe and elmers white glue
4. Prime
5. Prime
6. Remove panel line tape
7. Paint over rivets with silver paint
8. Paint with aluminum colour

A couple of questions...
1. Where can I get my hands on a few excellent photos (close-ups) of some aluminum floats so that I can use them as a guide for rivets and panel lines?
2. Where do I get a syringe?
3. Is elmers the best for making rivets?
4. Do I need to seal the floats after they are painted?
