yep, as bigred said.
In the 'old days' we all used solvent paints that didn't wash off when it got soaked. But nowadays, the acrylics will get attacked even by water. But for some reason, even though the chrome is solvent based, it still gets affected by moisture. I think its because it doesn't actually 'eat' into the polycarb' so it isn't secure to the shell as such. But thats how it gets it effect of the mirror finish.
