deffinately do not scuff the shell when using chrome! it will as said, provide a brushed or dull look..
wherever possible, try to do the chrome last or or the color before last depending on design.
i have no problems with chrome and can rip masking off around it. window trims with chrome, once dry/backed n sealed can again, be removed easily with lifting or need for scoring around cut lines.
i think the number one problem people have with chrome is backing it too heavily.
i need to do a vid showing it in use when i get a moment.
as for your troubles andy, what was the chrome backed with(type of paint,colour etc), was the shell sealed with anything or have any type of tape etc applied? was the shell cut out before or after painting?
