Curley:
The silver was Madalion Brand and was a simple run on, it came as a kit with the silver solution and a sponge. The silver solution is applied to the sponge and then rubbed on the part to be silvered. It works better if the part is shiny and smooth and the part is warm.
The more and harder you rub the better the finish.
The Gold is also Medalion Brand, in order to use it you polish the part as shiny as possible, put the gold solution in the microwave to heat, drop in your parts for about 30 seconds and then rinse in water. If it isn't as Gold appearing as you like repeat the process until it is.
Both Kits worked well for me,when I purchased the Gold Kit it was about $22.00 and the Silver $12.00, if you are patient and willing to wait you can catch them on sale for less.
Hope this is the info you wanted.
