I am looking to paint certain parts chrome on the bike has anyone went through this. Trying to find out spray paints that give great results. If anyone is familiar in this please point me in right direction.
I would assume if you take the time to do the prep and finish work like any other paint, you could get a good result out of whatever spray chromes are in the local auto parts, hardware, or paint store. By good result, I mean a shiny silver finish, since AFAIK the average spray can chrome job doesn't actually look like chrome plating.

I did a chrome paint on my kymco a while back and I must say it came out as more of a sliver. It it was done real thick and then wet sanded (and maybe buff)I think you could get close to the chrome look but nothing like actual chrome.
I don't need it to be chrome I just gave an example of what I wanted to do anything that can give off a mirror effect . I wanted to paint the kick starter or cvt cover
The CVT cover is aluminum. If you are willing to put the time in, you can polish it and make it look better than I'd expect any of the paints to look. Anything with lots of detail like a CVT cover takes a long time to do though.
