Now I might have to change my vote. But you can still get chrome paint in a rattle can and paint what ever you want chrome. So if chrome is not a paint, why are bald people called "chome domes?"

I was gonna say that, but I thought he was punning...
I think it's a metal alloy, but my wife thinks that Trace Adkins song was written for her. She took all her dad's chrome Testors model paint and used it on her bicycle when she was six and she's been addicted to it ever since. She says as far as she's concerned it's a color.

Chrome, as a finish, is a vehicle for reflecting color...like a mirror. Is a mirror a color? No. The color you see reflected back at you from the chrome is the color.

Chrome is not a colour, it is a process which is done to metal. Sometimes, cheaply. Sure looks purdy though.
But in regards to that song, think about putting chrome on your trucks. You like the look of it. It doesn't really have any benefit though. I knew a guy who chromed everything in his Camaro, but when it came down to it, he couldn't even afford to drive the thing.
