I used some of the chrome spray you can buy, sprayed a bunch in a small metal bowl and carefully, very carefully brushed it on. I have a pretty steady hand. It does not shine like chrome, but looks better than a can of Testor’s model paint. I have heard that the chroming technique that some restoration shops use does not last very long and has a tendency to flake off. Don’t know if that is true, but my car is a nice driver so I wasn’t ready to plunk down hundreds of dollars. I think my outlay was under 50 bucks.
