I think that "chrome" spray (I think that I've seen it in Homebase) has been tried, but not worked too well. The highly reflective adhesive plastic has worked better, but I don't know how durable that has proven to be.

Have been doing some research and the "chrome" sprays you get are not chromey enough for my needs. Although i did find a spray kit which is actually spot on and very shiny indeed, but Alsa Killer Chrome at around £70 defeats the object of saving money, i'll try the tape first

Will be interesting to see if the tape works but I think they'll end up Dual Metalising for re-chroming
