Spectrachrome Spray on Chrome

OK, I'm losing it, and the search function isn't helping. :hick:

Wasn't someone here going to look into this?

I'm still curious if it's a real chrome alternative? I saw a demonstration on Jay Leno's garage show and it obviously works. What are the drawbacks? Cost?

Spectrachrome Spray on Chrome

I see where it may have a purpose,but,my concern would be that everywhere I have chrome,it needs to be somewhat durable. If it gets chipped,then what? Or scratched. I think a show car suits the process better than a driven car. Chrome intakes,valve covers,wheels,etc. They all are subject to a lot of handling or mild abuse. I get under the hood frequently,and have dropped a socket,whatever, across the valve covers or intake,and no damage. if it was paint. Not so good. Plus,it's not something easily repaired like a standard paint. Chrome is sturdier. That's my own opinion.
