Well, first off, thanks!
It's metallic finish spray paint. Just make sure the stuff says "chrome" in
the name. Don't be taken in by "metallic silver" or anything similar.
As for the fit, yes, it does affect it. It gets a LOT tighter. The obvious
way around that is to only paint the sides that will be visible. You also
have to be very careful when handling the pieces. They tend to scratch and
show fingerprints easily.
