Ron and Pillo69;
I made a mistake when I called the Krylon product "almost chrome" it is instead their "Premium Original Chrome" #1010 or on the bar code label 24504 01010. There is also a Dupli-Color product #CS101 their bar code 26916 33101 which is identical in color and final finish. The Krylon product comes in at least an 8oz. can while the Dupli-Color comes in an 11oz. can.
One tip on re-using spray paint, I have found that the newer cans no longer provide for being able to clear the spray nozzle on the can. So I started putting a small dab of heavy grease over the opening that seals in the volatile parts of the paint and prevents the nozzle from stopping up. To use it again, shake as usual and wipe away the grease, then do a spot spray to open the nozzle full again, then proceed to paint in the usual way. The newer cans have a feature that allows the user to spray items holding the can upside down and thus you can no longer clear the nozzle by doing so, hence my trick of sealing the nozzle with heavy grease.
