Default Chrome Spray Paint

Has anyone tried chrome spray paint? If so, I am wondering what kind of results you had and which brand you used. I am wanting to spray a couple of parts but only if the end result looks good. Would really like to hear some opinions on the subject. Thanks.

Rookie advice below......
It's a decent way to have the chrome look, but it takes lots of practice (buy an extra spray can).
Do NOT put spraycan clearcoat over the chrome painted part....it will dull the chrome finish.

I've used Krylon and Eastwoods. It's not chrome but it is really shiny silver.
