That would be interesting to see.I am a Snap-on franchisee and one of my customers who is a shop owner just got set up to do this. It looks awesome and I am seriously thinking about having a frame, crank, and handlebars done up in a color you never see - brown chrome...
I prefer the Alsa Chrome and color chromes for smaller things like bikes, their speed clear is one of the best clears i've ever used.

I had been looking into this a couple of months ago for painting my new fiberglass saddles. I'm curious if you have used it yourself and if so how well did it work for you. From what I could tell it would look more like polished aluminum than chrome. That would be ok because I'm hoping to mimic the look of nickle plate more so than chrome.
Just spent 30 minutes watching a commercial between videos on YouTube about Spectra Chrome.
No doubt it's expensive, but what's your project?That's gorgeous. This is a nice idea for our project. But, I think that'll be too expensive.
That might be worth some experimenting, wonder if I can get silver nitrate locally.For small parts, I thought that silver nitrate used to created mirrored objects might be the most economical way to go. The results are not very durable, so probably best limited to trim, light bezels, etc.
