I have the same problem. Mine always looks good till I go back and put a clear coat over it to seal it. it happened to my Cobra Commander and some swords.
Another thing though. I'm putting together a base for my Destro in my head. How tall would you guys say he is? I'm thinking with the Marvel days some of the newer ones he's somewhere between 6'3-6'5. I know the Sunbow cartoon and some other comics had him up to 7' at times and I'm not trying to go there. I don't want mine to be super huge. I'm guessing he should be more around maybe Gung Ho's height. Like a small forward would be. Thoughts?

The only other alternative to actual chroming the pieces is metalizer paint.
Alclad 2 paint will get you the results, but must be applied with an airbrush.
Watch this tutorial to know how to use it:

i need help figuring out what to use for that hand guard square thingy(can't remember what they are called..sorry..epp)....

Cross-guard

 

[DrunknIronRabit]

as do i, though i'm using this head. Considering resculting the hair a little, but it's awful close as is,AND fits under a hat , so i can go hat, or no hat.

REpainted her lips to be a bit darker also... the pale lips just seemed to fade into the face too much for me.

Nat.Port HS?

I'd like to get a couple of the grenades from the SSC Cobra trooper's grenade launcher (the two things at the top left in the picture).

could someone post a pic of the regular Destro head next to a Joe head? Like Duke or Flint? Curious to see how it compares in size.
