Revell chrome spray may not be your favourite, but it sure seems to go down well for you.  The question has been asked lots in the various forums,  but how long do you let it cure before any handling?  Looks great!

Yes it finger prints way to easy, the battery boxes where chromed a month ago and I can finally handle then with no issues. My engine parts have been chromed for months and they are good to go. The battery straps after three days will finger print yet, so I will let the rear light assembly and battery straps sit now and turn my focus back to the engine and cab. I had heard one guy put them in a dehydrator, but did not hear back how that worked. I think a month is safe.

I am getting my ……. kicked. As the paint on the fenders cured, I could see the 3D printer lines. So I sanded them down again, repainted them……and the 3D printer lines are back but less. So let dry, sand again and try repainting them for the third time. You can see the lines in the shine.

I'd say they're very hard to see. Compared to what's visible on my builds it's nothing! I'd be more than happy to get such a great surface. It's like a mirror! 👍

They show up more than the camera illustrates, but maybe I’m being too picky. I might try a fill and sand primer next time on 3D parts, good learning process.

It is! I've tried lots of stuff. Fill primer, sanding, ...

You just can't print without lines.

I tried with a 0.2mm nozzle but it didn't work. 

Hope you're successful and achieve the surface you want. 

I think it looks awesome already!
