Do you know if "cold welding" should be a solution (like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfNByi-rrO4) or this http://www.mcmelectronics.com/produc...A%26dur%3D1825 ?
Are you using tweezers to hold the resistor down?
Also, it's important to keep in mind that most of the heat must go into the board, so always hold the iron on the board first for 1-2sec and then add solder.
That's the proper way to solder a SMD resistor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWeAOemTY_E

The thing with silver paint could work but it's a messy solution, I wouldn't do that.
