    Thanks for the reply, but your response didn't answer the question about the temperature conditions where you're at when you used the Revell Chrome spray paint.

    i used it in autuum, winter or sommer. 

    the point is to warm up the rattle can, spray it, let it sit in the basement. my basement has no heating, in winter about 10-14Celsius, just yet about 19Celsius (is the maximum)

    i handle the spray like all other i use. No different.

    in my opinion, rarety isn't important for me. I will build mine also - thats what they are made for.

    the only problem is to find one to a fair price, to build it.

    I didn't even know Revell had done a 67. The amount of detail sounds great. Of course with the Cragars.

    me too. i was building the amt 67 Camaro and a friend told me (or better, he asked me), why i'm not using the Revell Kit. At this point, i didn't knew 😄 ....and searched, and found it. 

    overall, the 67/68/69 camaro is a great kit they made (similar to the 68/69/70 Charger). always like to build it. i've completed about five of them and never get boring.

     

    sorry for oftopic Sonny. keep your work coming 🙂

    i agree with the result of the chrome spray.

    it is very easy to handle and imo it doesnt matter what base color the plastic has. i tried it on yellow, turquoise, grey, black, "old chrome" to rechrome and so far. 

    i'm very pleased, that it is a spraycan for a quick use and a great result.

    i also tried different clearcoats to grab it without dulling out, but all clearcoat took the chromlook and the result was silver till grey. the only working layer was pledge - but i will test that again to be sure, the handling or grabbing has no effects on the shine.

    for me:

    replace for alclad on bumpers - yes. easy handling counts for me.

    replace for bmf for chromtrim on the body - no.

    replace for alclad for chromtrim on the body or small parts - perhaps.

    ...just to pick up my 2 cents. 

    i agree with the painted bumpers - i had the same result while testing the spray and using it on my former builds.

    If allowed, i will post a link to my review and tests i wrote on a german site.

    For those here that have used the Revell Chrome spray;  any idea the surrounding temperatures that you were using the chrome paint in?

    in the meantime i tested Pledge for a whole body. the shiny result is a little bit gone but you can hard rub on it without damage. i think, attaching decals will work also.

    i painted it with a brush by hand, so the Pledge is not thin on every spot. therefor i think using a airbrush will get a better result.

    i will make some photos and post it here.

    I think it looks amazing! Who cares about the seat decals, they look really good.

    totally agreed. 

    you made a great job, i like it a lot. i would take it to my Mustang fleet 😉 . i've building this mpc-/amt-foxbody now the fifth in different versions (Cobra, turbo, GT) but i've never build it with t-tops thats nice!

    to be fair, my thoughts to the chrome i wrote in another tread: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/181804-revell-spray-chrome-test/
