I'm a newbie to your site and would to thank all of you for offering great info.

Does anyone have any experience with the chrome spray on finishes? The 'automotive finish' works for my application, but I question if it carries and hold the lustrous finish as traditional chroming.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, Drake. Chrome-like spray paint is better than it was even a few years ago, and much safer and easier, but OEMs use real chrome electroplating -- and that should answer your question.
