    I guess you havent used Killer Chrome by Alsacorp Alsa Corp | The World's Most Exotic Paints and Finishes It is amazing!!! A lambo was painted it in and it looked amazing. When you spray it it goes on black and when baked turns chrome. Not cheap by the time you buy all the right gear to do the job but it gives the results. I nearly painted my VK in their thermo reactive paint.

    cheers

    alsa corp has awesome paint thats wat i did my whole interior in my vh with, all blue marble, takes a bit of screwin around but ive been painting for a few years now, the chrome is touchy, you put too much on it goes silver not enough and it doesnt look rite you can get dvd's that show you how to spray the chrome properly or look it up on websites, craig fraiser does it, and i think mike lavelle has a site im not sure
    Black mags are for people who are to lazy to clean chrome...and wings are for planes and birds

    I've tried using aerosol chrome paint of various brands, and I've found them all to be fairly useless. They have more of a silver appearance, rather than chrome, and even if you prep it correctly, it never dries and hardens (Left out in summer sun for 3 days, still not touch dry).
    Can't comment on Alsa Corp as it requires a proper spray painting setup. The only other option is having them electroplated or chrome dipped.

    cant comment on pricing been so long since I have looked at it. The Killer chrome is not a DIY job you are much better off finding a panel shop that has used it, you will waist more material trying to get it right.
    If its metal get it chromed properly, in NSW use Hamilton Chrome in Newcastle they chrome properly by coating in copper first etc.
