Chrome Paint

I'm looking to paint part of a bike chrome with rattle cans. What's the best type of paint to use? (figured chrome was C&V appropriate )

I've read that the stuff Alsa Corp. makes is good, but have not yet had an occasion to use it:

Just keep in mind that chrome paint won't protect your bike as well as real chrome (but you already knew that!).
