chrome spray paint isnt actually chrome when it comes out (unlike the chrome on the cap thats more like proper chrome) the actual paint is more of a bright silver colour, if you really want to shine up your chrome, get the polish out! or get new chrome :-

Crap comes out like water no matter how much you shake it and looks nothing like chrome, just a bright silver.

It's a very shiney silver but not chrome and is not very hard wearing

Use it to paint metal that you want to give a bright silver/chrome-ish look to. Don't use it to paint existing chromed metal as it will not match, nor will the paint bond to the chrome plating very well. If your chrome work is dull, then polish it with "auto-sol" or a similar metal polish, if it is corroded and beyond saving then replace it with new as suggetsed above. :-

Alternatively you could steal parts of the Bowie mini :thumbsup: Regards Blue
