Clearing over Revell Chrome Spray

[DoctorLarry]

Has anybody used a clear coat over Revell chrome spray?  It says acrylic on the can and I have noticed it will rub off if handled. Any suggestions?  Thanks!

I've had good luck by not touching it for a week or two and then brushing on a thin coat of Future. 

Seems most people on here have the patience to wait that long though. 

I also understand some have had good luck using the Spaz Stixs clear they have for their chrome paint but I don't have access to any to try it myself.

That's how I did the bumpers on this truck.

That would make sense because Future is an Acrylic product. I may try spraying it and see what happens. Thanks for the tip.

If you put it on heavy it WILL dull the chrome effect. 

BTW, I do have some odds and ends that I had experimented with when I got the stuff and have been sitting for several months to a year that I have handles with no affect but I doubt anyone is going to spray them that far ahead and let them sit for 6-8 + months 😉

I may try thinning it and see what happens.

I have been playing the waiting game with a few days in the dehydrator. I started putting it on heavy until I got a smooth  but found it still dulls over time. Now I spray it in short bursts and so far it looks better but time will tell.

I’ve had success with this method, too.
