Thanks, Rick. Will do.

I was going to start repainting the body, but I got to looking at it and realized I had removed the door handles which the real car had an had done the park lights wrong. So, I started to fix those before I can repaint the body.

Mark, i know i am late with this response but what did you decide to do with the chrom painted pieces?

I do empathize with you on the painting/handling process with it, i put together a 1974 Roadrunner and used it on the wheels and bumpers. They started out with the reflective mirror shine to them and by the time i had them mounted on the car/in the tires, the finish was horrible. Pretty bad results for something that is as expensive as it is...

Thanks for your question, 18. It's good to know I wasn't the only one who has had this problem with Revell chrome. I went ahead and put future on the wheels which did not hurt the chrome appearance on them, and I will try to redo the air cleaner with Revell chrome and then future it before I start handling it again. Revell should put on the can you might want to clear whatever you're doing with this product before you handle the parts you paint with it.
