I'm sure this has been discovered already - detailing emblems

Well, I'm just about finished building an older model I located in my basement; the 1969 Indianapolis 500 Camaro Pace car. 

I was looking at it, applying the finishing touches, and thinking how I could "highlight" the emblems without using decals or the risk of creating a problem by painting.

The answer; I had a #2 pencil lying close by.  Turning the pencil sideways, I lightly brushed to emblem and "voila", the emblems are "sharp", and while not looking exactly liked they're chromed, the results are pretty good!

I haven't figured out the posting pics. deal yet, but once I do, I'll be sure to post some.
