I'm lucky that I have a business close to me that offers a good 'spray on chrome'. Notice I don't call it paint, I was told the substance sprayed is the same as used for making mirrors but the process is totally different. A good friend took a tour of the facilities, watched the process in action (was completely amazed with it) and even tried to buy a franchise but they wouldn't sell him one because he was in the same city as their location. Check out their web site and the videos, maybe there is a similar business near you.
