It would be OK in Europe as chrome gets very HOT in our depleted ozone layered country......
At least it wouldn't fade???
tree sap and bird droppings would just wash off.....
I don't know if this photo is of a real chromed car....
but there is a fellow in Europe [eastern] who chromed his Beetles bonnet and engine lid..... chromed it himself....
didn't look all that good.....

It's neither chromed nor poished... it is a paint.
Someone too the the POR15 wheel paint idea a step further. Rumour has it it only lasts a few years.

Yes can conferm it is a paint. Yes it does not last too log as there is a uv breakdown issue. however under a bonnet it is hell cheaper than
polishing/chroming.
