If it's the process I've seen, it's way too expensive to do for just a few small parts. Wasn't a spray on if I remember right. Seems like it was a dipping process. Not like the normal chroming process though.

And just as I hit enter...

I have seen a youtube video where they sprayed the plastic from a street bike. Came out looking great, but again, expensive and didn't look like something you could do in the garage.

I went to youtube and searched spray on chrome. A few different videos. Seems a few processes look really simple. But the few I looked at didn't say anything about pricing.
