Default Chrome paint for reflectors?

Anyone knows where can I find chrome paint to finish some reflectors?

I don't know if you can buy Sherwin-Williams paint down there in Brazil. If you can, look for the Duplicolor Spray (in aerosol can) "Instant Chrome" DS-25.

I've never seen anything you can spray on that even comes close in appearance to real chrome plating though. This spray will give the surface a sort of almost-quasi-imitation-faux shiny silver look [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

It does work OK for reflectors though-at least better than aluminum foil. Just don't expect a mirror finish. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
