Everything is perishable. Chrome too.
And chrome again? That costs a lot of money. Is spraying chrome lacquer then the solution?
A spray can with chrome, it seems too good to be true. And in our experience it is actually that.
Pay particular attention to the fact that quite a few chrome spray cans are only suitable for indoor use and that finishing with clear varnish generally makes the result considerably worse.
The best results we achieved ourselves from the DIY idea were ... Nice. Not anymore. But whether they generated the real Chrome Look? Neuh ... At best, it looked like polished aluminum. Neat too. Yet..
If you pull the cut, specialized sprayers can achieve impressive results.
They all make sure that they use a super-smooth, extremely glossy black surface.
And no matter how nice the result is, it is very sensitive to mechanical damage.
So just keep saving? Or are there readers who have very good experiences with this approach.
