I use Alclad. Both their chrome and polished aluminum colors make a good chrome look. The secrets to using it are to have a flawless gloss black undercoat, and airbrush it on in a very thin coat.

Al-Clad Chrome will be a good option. High gloss perfect surface with a coat of high gloss black and a light coat of Al-Clad chrome
i did the same as you on motorcycle exhaust system and the painted it with Al - Clad and it looks like this
Try painting some Tamiya clear smoke over the chrome.
Its a quick, easy, cheap method.
If you don't like it you can still go with the methods above.

Okay ;
I give . But what happens if you want to polish it say a year from now ? No one has mentioned that ! T.B.
Use Alclad. You'll never use anything else.
