Eastwood Almost Chrome spray paint?
Has anyone ever used the Almost Chrome spray paint sold by Eastwood? If so, can you handle it after it dries without it turning dull or rubbing off on your fingers?

Never used their version, but have used others and it no where looks like chrome.

I have found the chrome paints will dull just by handleing with your hands. The oils from your fingertips will leave smudges. They never have the durability or the brightness of chrome.

That is true. I have tried a number of them. However, the Eastwood people said theirs would not. And I'm not looking for a chrome look. I'm looking for more of a polished stainless steel look, like the spotlight on a police car.

This is not Eastwood but it might be worth taking a look. It is not cheap.
