Back in the days when I worked for an office supply store, I had the
opprotunity to see some irridium (it was used on the end of a fountain
pen
to prevent wear).
As I recall it was a dull silver color similar to platinum.

I'm going to paint a set of vehicles Hammer's Slammers style.
One problem, I have never seen a piece of irridium. The online
sites say "bluish white".
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking steel with a blue
ink glaze or maybe silver with blue mixed in, but I'm really
not sure.
TIA
