Spray Paint Disaster

I used a chrome spraypaint to change my robots colour, the one I used is normally used on cars.(I put a primer on first) I did a really good job, let them dry and stored the bits in a box individually wrapped in plastic to protect them.

I unwrapped them today to put some decals on and the paint is all scratched on certain parts, I rubbed it with my finger nail and it scratches easily... what have I done wrong?

Gutted, now I'm gonna have to remove all the paint and start again:( right now my motivation has been destroyed, not looking forward to removing that paint!

Castin' Craft Resin Spray

I promise you I DO NOT work for them hahaha I only do the guitars on the side, my main job is in the oil industry. I'm a Senior Electronics Tech. I'm a frustrated F/X guy haha. I know a few pro F/X people in Hollywood and I'm pretty knowledgeable about materials/sculpting/electrical/animatronics. Long story short this is how I stumbled upon EZ-b. It's an awesome little board.

I really can't wait to show everyone what I'm working on.

Good luck with that paint job now!
