This stuff works pretty good but is expensive. A friend of mine used some on an art project a while back and it looks like the real thing.

Some people are like slinkies... Not much good for anything, but they sure are fun to push down the stairs.

My recommendation is similar to the others - sandplast, apply heavy primer, usually a 2 part epoxy primer, then use a spray chrome. Many other vendors have spray chrome including duplicolor, PPG and www.alsacorp.com/ among others. the finish is bright, but looks like semipolished aluminum or nickel plate more than chrome (which has that blue like look). However, it is cheap, and looks good and you can do it yourself. Many aluminum wheel manufacturers find this sprayed finish acceptable as a replacement to polished aluminum - my daughter's jeep grand cherokee came with sprayed chrome aluminum wheels from the factory. it is definitely a way to go for bright finish for reasonable expense. and needless to say, they also have silver finishes to simulate aluminum too.
