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.

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.

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.

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

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.
