As far as having a chrome appearance applied, it is possible, but tough to do. There are a couple of options as far as I can tell. 1) Use a rattle-can to spray on chrome paint. I've never done this, but have seen it done and it doesn't look very good IMO. 2) There is a spray-on chrome process that consists of a base that's sprayed onto the item followed by the chrome-appearing layer and finally a clear coat. This process looks pretty good. But, from the research I've done thus far it is very expensive. So I don't see either option as good right now, unfortunately.
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.
Thanks,

Metalizing is a process of aluminum coating od plastics that's been used forever. Makes the nice, shiney,hard surface that you see on most "fake" chrome.
