VERY cool looking!! -great job building! -saw a Cobra in a museum with a bare body like this. I agree with you on the Duplicolor Chrome paint. it is VERY fussy! the more you touch it, the worse it gets. I use to use it for a polished aluminum look, then I switched to Krylons version. if you let it set for a week, it seems to be a little tougher than the Duplicolor. I would imagine though, that if the climate it was being used in would effect that still. especially humidity. Anyways, fantastic build, Ray!!
