It may say chrome on the can, and the cap might look just like the chrome you have in mind, but when you spray it - it will be nothing more than a super fine metallic silver paint!!!

I just checked out their website and this stuff looks like a pretty good choice to try out. Not a $6 can of paint though.

If their product works as well as it looks like on the website I'll have to eat my words above.

They have several chemical tanks and use electricity to bond the chrome to the plastic.
