Looks like silver paint. Rubs off on your fingers. Nothing substitutes for real chrome

There is a new chrome paint out now. Involves painting the surface gloos black,wet sand and buff it,and spray the "chrome" over the black. I've seen videos,but not in real life. Saw the whole roof of a car done,looked like actual chrome on the video.

Don't know what you want to "chrome" but another option is vinyl wrap. You can get it in chrome and from pictures I've seen looks pretty good. Just do a Google for vinyl wrap.
