dont do it, I've clearcoated tamiya marker chrome silver and shines went off due to the clearcoat!!. About decals... I clearcoat over decals, but decals must cure for a week an start with mist coats to protect the decals, after this... no problem, but again, you arent going to get more shine if you clearcoat chrome parts.

yes... putting clear coat on chrome part won't make it shine.. but it makes it less shiney.. i did that to the wheels.

My experiance shows that if you clearcoat chrome, ju get silver - the shine of chrome is gone.
