[QUOTE="pgtips, post: 646481, member: 13573"] What I found with chrome sprays is that they look great but you can't touch the surface or it comes off so I tried a clear lacquer and they went dull grey. I tried several but same result. It turns out (I read at the time anyway) that chrome sprays are made up of lots of tiny metallic bits that reflect to get that chrome look but as soon as you surface coat with a lacquer to make it durable then it's gone, stops reflecting, which is a shame. So as mentioned already above, get chromed or possibly settle for silver (which is durable) until you can buy a replacement. I even tried chrome wrapping foil but it was useless. [/QUOTE]
