Spazstix Ultimate Mirror Chrome

[zed2]

Anyone have experience with Spazstix Ultimate Mirror Chrome (https://www.hobbyrecreationproducts.com/collections/spazstix-ultimate-mirror-chrome)?  I have an interior trim part that needs a chrome appearance and I am concerned that this paint will not be durable enough to withstand the fingerprint touching.

Thanks for your input.

Maybe it's just me, but I have never, ever, ever, never seen anything come out of a spray can that even barely resembled chrome.

Even if it has "chrome" in the name somewhere.

This stuff ain’t bad for doing the “chrome” lines on the console and HCP etc.

Thanks all.

My project is a seat latch assembly that is 3" long.  It will not be touched very often, so the finish does not have to be as hard as real chrome.

Has anyone used Molotow Burner Chrome Spray Paint https://www.hobbytown.com/molotow-burner-chrome-spray-paint-150ml-mlw443/p823931

I've used Molotow and it works OK for narrow lines but it might not be the best option for a part that requires a wide area since you'll end up with "brush strokes". 

I also used Rustoleum Bright Coat Chrome and got acceptable results. It required several coats and cannot be clear coated to increase the luster.

It is possible to chrome plastic with real chrome by first coating it with a metallic material or to coat it with aluminum that will shine almost like chrome. Here's a discussion that might explain it. I decided to go with paint.
