There are "chrome" powders.  Any imperfection or orange peeling really stands out, so you have to be on the top of your game, but the better ones come out really nice until you put a clear coat over them to protect from UV damage.  The clear coat ends up making it look more like silver paint. 

You might get away with skipping the clear coat if the reel is a shelf queen, not intended to be fished.

There have been a few iterations of improved chrome powders, so maybe the latest stuff is better. 

Nowadays, I only use chrome powders as an undercoat for the tinted clear candy powders.  If you want some bling, clear candies can be just the ticket.


From an old thread of mine:  Here is a part coated with a "light chrome" color (looks like polished aluminum), and then top coated with a clear candy apple red powder.





Enjoying watching Joe's progress.  Please keep the photos coming.  I am learning stuff!
