On the topic of really bad PX10 chrome, as illustrated above, has anyone tried chrome paint?

I was reading about the chrome paint used to paint the McLaren F1 cars. They look smashing. How durable it is, I don't know.

That reminds me. The other day, I saw a new Mercedes coupe (don't know the model), that was entirely chromed, from nose to tail. I didn't inspect it closely as I was driving by, but it looked like a mirror. Obviously it was "chrome paint", and that paint must be at least somewhat weather resistant to be used on a car that was parked on the street in Portland's winter.

And here is a source for "chrome" airbrush paint. As I understand it, the process (for the real McLaren F1 as well as for scale modelers of same) is prep surface, black base coat, chrome coat, clear coat.

If anyone had an airbrush and a badly rusted PX10 fork, why, I think there'd be nothing to lose . . .
