So I removed and re-did the bumper chrome by using gloss black enamel vs the lacquer I used first. While I still like using the enamel better than lacquer in this case as a base I'm not sure the problem originally wasn't just poor coverage on my part. Each time I use the Spaz Stix in the rattle can I learn more on how, and how much, to apply. I see a big difference in person, but I'm not sure you guys see as much. Lesson learned I guess. And that's all part of the fun of the hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Definitely improved; did you get closer to the bumpers or spray a heavier coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both Chris. I think somewhere along the way I'd read that heavier coats wouldn't yield a shiny finish, but to rather shoot light coats from a distance. I won't say I laid down a "wet coat" on these but they were much heavier than I've done in the past. I'm happy with the results. A light polish after they're dry really helps too.

Dave Darby Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Well that was certainly no walk in the park! While I collect and preserve (some) survivors and I do like the before version, it looks great now! You did a beautiful job on it. You did it proud.
