Usually these are plastic parts and this chrome looking ‘color’ doesn’t stay for long on plastic base. I guess if they use real metal and chrome then things would be lot better (and higher in price as well).

Advice to all, please use ‘cloth’ gloves while handling your diecasts because the salt and minerals coupled with air humidity cause such paint problems. In case you hold them with bare hands do clean them with a cotton cloth before storing back.

Also, Do Not Rub chrome colored plastic parts. Just clean them with gentle pressure. Excessive rubbing while cleaning also loosens the so called chrome from the base material and then gradually it goes away.

And the least you can do is “not to shout much when you got the last piece in the country when others are still hungry. Nazar lag jaati hai dear. “

All the best Smile

Hahaha...that's a really great reminder KV!!! And thanks a lot for all those tips there. That's really some useful info!!
