I hold your abilities in high regard Charlie, so let me offer a little nugget of advice on the Chrome "paints"

In Response To: That's not going to work anyhow. ()

Putting any of them in a dehydrator overnight greatly increases their durability. I've done a methodical experiment myself and can provide proof if you're interested.

No luck w/ Fusion Firm Chrome. I brushed these 3D door handles from Iceman w/ Fusion Firm and they came out very dull. The surface of the door handles is rough. Is that why they came out dull silver? I'm not happy w/ the results. .......... *PIC* .....
- I suspect it's just like any other paint. If the underlying surface is rough, the end result will be rough as well. Painting with primer and then wet-sanding until smooth is the answer, just like on bodywork. *NM*
- Needs a glossy surface.....I love results then..... *NM*
- That's not going to work anyhow.

    - Bring it on. I always appreciate benefiting from the research of others. Anything that you could post would help many, I’m sure. *NM*
    - Would letting the pieces sit for 3-4days also work, if you don't have a dehydrator? *NM*
      - If these are resin or #D printed, I'd try putting ONE in the dehydrator. Chances are it'll be ruined by the heat. *NM*
