Default Chrome Paint?

I see a lot of chrome spray paints. I used chrome lexan spray paint for the bumpers of my Revo body. It doesn't really look like chrome to much! Does anyone use or know a brand of chrome paint that gives you a chrome look on styrene?

Eastwood has a kit but it is expensive and very labour intensive to get good results, I am experimenting right now with a copper base electrically conductive paint that you can then plate just like metal, so far I have got good results with nickel plate, yet to try chrome plate.

Please let us know how it turn's out! I've been curious how it's done?

Cheer's, Neil.
