It's a good question. Why don't they put the paint that they use to make the caps into the can.

I'm happy I'm not the only dude that buys 5 cans to find the best match.

As a guy that still builds model kits, the BEST chrome pen for small details is a Molotow pen from any hobby store, eBay, and that jungle website.

Thanks for taking the time and money to do this and share! I agree with a few comments about the clear, sanding and buffing after a nice base coat. However on such a small reveal for your light bezels, I doubt it would matter. It may matter on larger areas though.

HOMEWORK.

You should ALWAYS use gloss black as a base. And you really should back away from the object while spraying. A good 10” distance.

Rather than sell silver paint that is supposed to be chrome, tell us how they made the plastic caps of the cans actual chrome.

Great effort. I truly appreciate the hard work.

Find out what they used for the can caps 😁

I'm surprised that you didn't put a clear coat over the silver. I believe Adding a clear coat would give you a more chrome effect ?

I think that maybe you should have used a gloss black instead of a matted black or a regular black. I've seen other videos here on YouTube where they use a gloss black as the base paint and it looked real nice.

Geeesh.. Can't anyone just appreciate the video for what it is. Your not the only one that looks at all those cans in the store (knowing it's not Chrome in a can) but for some projects it will serve it's purpose !! I'd love to know your results respraying the 2nd one that came out like a firehose. I just did the same thing a few weeks ago with a few cans I had laying around to fill in the small rust spots on a Chrome Steel Pit Bike Rim. It was working good but the bike sat so long with water pooling at bottom there was a large deeply pitted area. If anyone else comes across a similar project I ended up painting the hub, spokes and center of outside ring of rim Black. Then ground down the rust till smooth and then sanded gradually going finer on sandpaper till the bare steel was polished to a Chrome like finish that blended in nicely with the remaining Chrome. Gave it a quick polishing and then put a Gloss Clear Coat over the entire Chrome/Polished Steel area. It not being a Show Bike and being what it is, a 15 year old Pit Bike. Standing and looking down at it you'd never know, IT LOOKS GREAT !! 👍

A few years ago I used Krylon Chome paint in my Torino taillight housings. It was great, looks like I chromed them.
The can sat in my garage and when I tried to use it a couple weeks ago, it had gone bad.
I tried the one you picked ( before I saw this video) and it’s just silver.
I cannot find Krylon anywhere now. Only rustoleum. Very disappointed..

🟥 How bout another test? This time...
1) start with a very smooth, flat, surface.
2) A high gloss black base then wetsand with 2500 paper.
3) At least 3 coats of your choice of chrome paint.
4) Wetsand chrome paint with 2500 paper.
5) 3 coats of 2K clear. (Amazon)
6) Wetsand clear with 2500 paper.
7) Machine polish for final finish.
Remember...The final step in Real chrome plating, after nickel, is clear then buff.
