There is no paint that I'm aware of that will give you that true chrome look.
If you have to, get em re-plated. It'll look much better than paint and last longer too. |

Besides, now that I think about it ... re-plating could cause a problem with tolerances and prevent some hardware (bridge/studs for example) from fitting properly. |

and paint can mess with the tolerances too.
New hardware, FTW. Like I told someone sometime ago, see if you can find someone with the colour you want and they want your's. trade. Badda-bing.
