Good question, I'd like to know too.

You could try Russ' approach and use a decal:

...and false eyelashes.

Thats the thread I was looking for.

I wonder if ModelFlex NH Imitation Silver would bee a good match as it is a flat gray.

I just use any number of medium gray colors, with Model Master Navy Aggressor Gray.
