Seems to be in SS's.
Although not all in the same places is seems, some are.
I dont see the upper on between the "E" and "N", but both lowers ones and above the "A" I do.
 
Decided to paint my warrior's teeth tonight. I was able to get the chrome, metal, mirror effect pretty well. Here's some pics..

While it looked good last night, this morning, fully dried, I must say, it looks awesome.

I had a factory issue with two of the teeth. So I had to do two coats, turns out that made ALL the difference.

I used Model Master Chrome/Silver. Applied with a VERY VERY small brush.

To start off, Tape off what you can (For the teeth separation? I used small piece of postit....apply the first coat as a base. wait about 4 hours to do the second.
Now for the second coat and technic? Apply a generously amount to a very small brush - Start from the top of each tooth and push lightly while going down, causing a droplet effect to cover the tooth. No brush strokes and a decent amount are key for a surface shine..

Inbetween doing each tooth, I re-shook the bottle.

This is how I did it, Hope it helps.

I used the smallest brush in that set to do everything.

Just take your time, should work out well.
 
Did the inner jaws teeth and added some gloss around the mouth for the wet look. Done deal.

Did you turn the bust upside down when doing the bottom teeth to keep the paint from running into the mouth area?

Ooops sorry, I forgot about describing the bottom jaw. I went from the bottom up on the teeth. Do the same, a nice amount, a slow stroke up the tooth. Running the excess up your brush.
There shouldn't be that much to be running anywhere.

What's good about SS's crap job, the teeth are very thin, hardly any paint, so the added extra won't make it look like chilette teeth.

One last thing, for the inner jaw, Was just one liberal coat...
