The chrome spray paint would not last long on wheels. If you really wanted chrome wheels you could go 2 an electro plater who could chrome your wheels properly.

Aparently a chrome paint job can cost ya up to £10'000, im sure thats what the guy with the chrome beemer paid, its very labour intensive to get a perfect finish

theres a new brand of chrome paint out. cant remember the make but will find out if ya want. ive seen it sprayed onto a chrome wheel. half wheel proper chrome, half painted with this chrome paint. looks really really gd. 35quid a litre to. so pretty cheap for a nice effect. i know that chrome paint usually looks tacky but this is actually very gd.

Agree with the above statements, you can't get chrome in a can.
I've tried these so called chrome and mirror finish silver paints, it looks good on my kitchen radiator, but don't use it on your car 'cos its not gonna give a chrome finish.

chrome spray is just silver spray paint as kris said its ot no mirror finish wot so eva.....chroming wheels (plating) is done by dipping, not spraying.
