Chrome Paint
Has anyone ever used a paint named Plastikote 615 Chrome Bumper Paint ?
It sounds tooo good to be true. Like I have always heard " If it sounds too good to be true, its not true "

What are you shooting?
I'll offer a tip that might be off-topic: My 73 (like the bump) has separate lenses for the taillights and turn signal housings. After repainting the outsides and insides silver, I lined the insides of the housing with aluminum tape (like for HVAC ducting) to increase the housing's reflectivity.

Or swap over to the painted steel version.

I've used the "chrome" paint for things like inside of tail light houseings and back side of repo bumpers (to keep them from rusting) but for an external part i think it would look cheap and disco ey. try Eastwood aluminum paint it is a dull silver looks very close to bare aluminum .
