In reference to a future project (an Omnicon RDC), does
anyone have advice on painting and decaling  nickel-plated
brass?
I'm happy enough with the appearance of the silver itself (so
something like soaking is not an option), but a portion of the body will
need paint, and some decals will go on the metal area.
