    A few people here had great things to say about the Krylon equivalent IIRC, if such a thing is an option for you that is.

    Krylon is the brand and they have a chrome spray somebody recommended a while back they used on their Metroplex that came out pretty nice. Really,you just have to experiment,man. That's what it really comes down to.

    Best chrome I've found is either having the parts professionally chromed, I like chrometechusa.com, or for paints, I use the alclad II with a good gloss black base. What I did with the wheels of my original custom sidearm Sidedwipe figure was use a nicely thinned gloss Testors acrylic paint, put a medium thick coat down, let that get tacky, then did two or three light layers of the alclad chrome.
