I was thinking of getting some when I paint a garden wagon I got from my neighbor. I was thinking Chrome on the rims and the rest of the wagon Pacific Blue (Same as the wife's Saturn VUE).

That stuff is pretty good! I tried it when it first came out (mid 80's)
The smuther the surface, the better it come out. I used it on various wheels when I used to do ground effects back in the 80's (Miami Vice)
It's not very durable though!

You can still do it! It was okay on the car but with driving, washing, weather, it just faded after a while, and you can't clear coat it! It dulls up to a primer (well almost)

I guess I would have to paint it yearly or something like that.

The Dupli-Color Chrome looks good but it is still a silver the Alclad is more Chrome looking then I have found any paint to be.
