"Chrome" powder coat?

Probably a waste of time, but I'm curious because of seeing some good metallic powdercoats.

Given the abysmal environmental impact of chroming, has anyone attempted a chrome powdercoat before, and how "convincing" did it appear afterwards?

Local PC shop is quite reasonably priced, although a metallic like this would probably need two coats. I have some frames that I can't decide on a color for, and maybe chrome is the ticket. I could even do a bad wet paint job over the top, and as the paint inevitably failed in a month or so, I might have some "fauxpage."
