Default Chrome paint

I have a few small non replaceable parts (heater control plate for one) that needs to be rechromed. Has anyone used MirraChrome from Alsa corp? Wondering if it’s worth the dough. Any other recommendations for rattle can chrome? http://www.alsacorp.com/products/mir...irrachrome.htm

Thanks

this is rattle can about 7 cans dupont chrome. I t looks fine for temp stuff but dont think it would it hold up long term.
I made a giant Ipod for a Halloween display thingy my client was doing.

i'd say galvanising is cheaper than that ...
don't bother with that stuff ... same verdict here

Seems way too high for me too. I think you'd be better off going a different route, especially not knowing how the end product will turn out.
