Spray-on Chrome Finish

Just saw a segment of "Rides" on DiscoveryHD that featured this company's spray-on chrome finishing technology. In the show, the company chromes some composite replicas of 1966 Pontiac GTO headlight bezels for motion picture cars. Their on-camera demonstration was amazing to see, first spraying distilled water, then the company's proprietary finish from a traditional paint gun. The company claims the finish can be applied to almost any material. Impressively, the finish was demonstrated on thin flexible plastic, and was completely flexible itself.

The company sells a consumer product called Killer Chrome. You can see a video demonstration at this link. I don't know how durable this stuff is, but perhaps it will address a project or problem you have.
