How effective is aerosole spray on chrome these days? I can remember back in the day it used to peel off quicker than it went on, but things have come a fair way. Basically, the chrome has pitted and flaked on a part of my bumper, whats my best bet for making it look nice again without having it rechromed (expensive i hear)?

There is a product called spray chrome and its about $12 + approx a large spray can

it will never be as good or bright as real chrome but is a good looking paint...

My Son had an XD=XE falcon a few years ago and they had plastic headlamps with silver painted reflectors

spraying the reflectors made a BIG difference.. lol

many years ago I sprayed falcon rims [on an L300] with Spray chrome with a black centre.. looked great..

but I had to respray them every few months to look anything like chrome...
