Depends on the brand as to how it will look. Some are more "chrome-like" than others and it's a pretty wide range. My limited experience with them is that they are thinner than other paints. Light coats will get you there. Don't spray it like you do other paints or it will run in a heart-beat. It took two or three times and as many wipe-downs before I figured that out. And for some reason they stink like no other paint I've tried. Oh, they like to be sprayed over black. It really does help a lot.

I just bought a can of Rustoleum Metallic with the chrome cap. I'm hopeful it will be the brightest I've had based on what I've seen elsewhere. The three varieties I've tried have been pretty gray—despite what the can said.

Some here with more experience will doubtless give you better, more useful info on this. I'll be reading their suggestions as well.
