Oh it's only about $500 for the smallest kit to apply that stuff. Get the big kit and it would be cheaper to just buy a Harley and have all the chrome you could ever want. alsacorp.com/chrome-fx-machines-spray-chrome-paint-systems/#pricingI 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. |

Great Dane has a nice chrome rattlecan... Great Dane is used for mostly semi-truck trailer paint... Isn't too bad on price...

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.

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.
