Patton, I'd say the way it lays is very thin and almost transparent, watery, so you don't really have to try to lay down light coats. It just sprays nearly transparent with a little silver 'flake' in it and the black undercoat showing through...
I'll put it this way...When I sprayed it, since I could easily see the black "through" it, that makes you instinctively want to lay more on and I did. At that moment, it almost turns to chrome before your eyes as the second coat lays down. That''s when you stop.
You just keep it moving and you don't necessarily have to treat it like paint, that is, not a 'full coat' like you would with the black paint. You look at it as you spray it, you'll see where it needs more and where it doesn't. I'd say it took no more than 30-40 seconds to lay the chrome down whereas the black paint takes a minute or two.
Also, the black paint finish is much more critical in application. Smooth and glossy is key.
The great thing about this stuff Patton is that at the price and the tiny bit it takes to do the job, you can play on some scrap plastic with it until you feel comfortable.
