Sorry for waking up an old thread, but I have some chrome paint questions.

I usually use SMS Hyperchrome and have very good results. It works very well and there is no need to clearcoat it. It can be handled a little bit without messing up the finish.

This one time I used Hyperchrome, it didn't not shine up bright enough though, so I applied Molotow using an airbrush. The Molotow turned out great. Nice and bright. The problem is I know you cant touch it at all. It very delecate. So I want to clearcoat it.

I am totally fine with the clearcoating dulling the finish a bit. But I don't know what clearcoat to use. I tried a 2k clear on a chromed spoon. It damaged the finish.  I have Mr Super Clear from Mr Hobby that I can use. It is a lacquer. I also have some acrylic clear from Tamiya. And finally I do have some Alclad. I think that is acrylic as well.

I can do some tesh shots, but I know Molotow takes a long time to cure. I don't have time to wait for that and test. I am trying to get this model done ASAP.

Any info is appriceated.
