You can use wooden dowels and paint them silver, that would work. Elvis Trooper also makes aluminum ones that are very nice.

If it helps at all, these were once a 5/16" dowel rod that I cut, sanded, primed (black) and the finish is 2 coats of Krylon Sterling Silver. Total cost for 14 flares was around $6.

Nice! How many inches long are those dowel pieces?
