Chrome ?
A simple question: Is there a simple color that can replace the non-color "chrome"?
There are hundreds of the very best special paint mixtues online...
What do you think about these colors? What is "chrome" really: a handcrafted product, a paid service...?

I suspect you know that chrome is electrically depositing chromium atoms on polished metal surfaces (over copper and tin?). I haven't found a paint that looks like it, but for my golf cart project I am going to give chrome powdercoat a try.

I suggest you don't paint chrome unless it's properly prepared.
Extensive sanding, cleaning and a proper adhesion epoxy primer.
