Chrome paint??, what have youused, what works?? Options

[mandrek]

title says it all.. i picked up a can of the rustolium tough stuff, chrome enamel paint from advanced auto parts. i did a test spray on bear metal, and on black primer.. (other then a gritty ness on the black primer since i did not sand it to smooth it down after primer) the paint did not come out at all like chrome.. it was sprayed in favorable conditions and low humidity... I'm gonna try giving it a quick buff w/ the dremml (obviously i would us a much larger device on my project# to see if i can get it to shine through like the cap/ like real chrome...

i did a search, in this forum, and seen allot of mention of people "spraying chrome" but not a mention of what brand/ or end results of the spray?

this is in preparation for my rims.. I'm going to do a "black chrome" on 7th gen rims for my DD.. (on a black car) I'm simply looking for a shiny chrome paint that wont be too much of a hassle to pray on these rims, so i can get a good base down for the next phase of the project.. we that an it looks like i need to redo my headlights, so i need some good, highly reflective chrome paint, to use on the inside of the housings.. once i get a good base, i will be using the "black chrome kit" from advanced.. two part kit w/ smoking spray #the black translucent smoke spray# and a finish spray. this is a kit designed for use on rims, so I'm not too worried about durability..

any help and feed back would be greatly appreciated... pix of your projects w/ the finished results and any additional steps need to be taken #if necessary# would be even better!!

thank you in advanced..

thank you guys for the reply.. yeah i was dubiouse about it actualy comming out like the cap... but there HAS to be a chrome paint that we can use that is not an actual chroming process.. since it is all over the products that we see every day.. i was at lowes last night and saw that VALSPAR now has a small sieries of metal like paint, and one of them is a chrome one.. has any one tryed that ?
perhaps even a non rattle can spray.. somthing that can be shot through a paint gun...
