Chrome paint

SteveW:
Does chrome paint actually exist?
Bought a small can of Plasticote chrome paint to refurbish my side panel badges. The can had a nice shiny gleaming chrome cap on so I thought this would do the job.

Tested it on a old broken bit of badge and surprise surprise it’s just bog standard silver paint and bears no resemblance to chrome whatsoever.

Anyone had any luck with chrome paint or is the same as tartan paint, unavailable?

Nurse Julie:
I used the Plasticote chrome paint years ago, not on a bike, but it was very chrome like. The can needed an awful lot of shaking IIRC, or it did just come out as silver.

Okay, thanks, I’ll try again tomorrow  :)

SPR:
it does exist but is extremely expensive

I had my 911 wheels professionally refurbished in a chrome paint finish called 'shadow chrome'. It was sprayed on, apparently it has to be done over a black undercoat, I don't know why. It does look like chrome, though, rather than just silver.
