    It's White Knight...........it's not the best finish. I have used it a few times before and really good prep is what makes the finish half decent.

    What exactly are you painting? If you let me know I can advise the best course of action to get a decent finish.

    you can get proper chrome automotive paint and you gloss clearcoat the surface first then spray the chrome then clearcoat again to get the mirror shine look
