So I bought some metallic spray paint, Krylon premium silver sterling Dupli-color chrome. when I use either of these with a clear coat it kills the silver/ chrome effect. They come out looking milky. I tried the Krylon with the Krylon Clearcoat and the dupli-color with the duplicolor clear coat so it's not because I'm mixing lacquer and enamel or something like that. Basically what I want to know is if there is something I'm doing wrong, or if I just can't use a clear coat and still have the chrome look. Also if I'm using just the chrome paint without a clear coat, how long will it last? will it hold up to a few conventions? If I sell a piece (65D resin> primer> chrome paint) will I get customers who are disappointed because their armor or helmet is marked up after one day?
