My Existential Questions

1.
Can you use metallic pens or ink on Shrinky Dinks and not have them blow up the oven, A, or B, emit killer gases, and, most important, C, maintain their metallic glimmer once baked?

2.
Anybody used Krylon Plastic Paint? Does it really fuse to plastic? Can I use it on fused plastic shopping bags for a pillow cover? Ie., the paint won't come off on the sofa or somebody's butt?

How about Duplicolor from the auto store?

If so, I will A, be able to fabricate Godzilla shaped sequins one-quarter inch high, and, B, custom-colored eyelet out of upcycled, fused, plastic shopping bags.

I have not tried metallic inks of any kind, but I was pretty disappointed with Sharpies.
Is there such a thing as metallic pencil?
