Can anyone recommend a very good "chrome" spray paint?
I understand I won't get a super shiny paint that matches chrome, but something close as possible would be fine ;-)

Well one I can discount is abro- it got good reviews but ended up just being silver paint for me. Started off bright but not really chrome at all.
I'd hoped for a chrome dip but that's not available. You can get chrome wrap if it's a flat piece?

I've not found one thats any better than regular silver paint. Think you can get some pretty good results with powder coating tho.

I used some Plastikote chrome on something a few years ago.It looked alright at first but it wasn't very hardwearing.
Alclad is supposed to be good but it needs airbrushing i think.

Another option can be, to glue on aluminum baking foil and keep it polished
Many years ago, a friend used that method to re-silver some rotten spot lamps
