One of our club members shared a great method for chrome with us:
- Strip the chrome from the kit part by soaking in diluted PineSol (1:1?)overnight.
- Once clean, spray with cheap testors gloss black. Let dry for a few days.
- Apply 2 light coats of the Alclad chrome.
You get a realistic chrome finish with some depth in it. Looks great, and is pretty easy!
