I bought some of Rustoleum's new Chrome spray paint and tried it on a new horn I bought. It really didn't look like chrome to me, but probably close enough for parts that won't get close inspection, and after I let it dry 2 days (can said wait 24 hours) I masked the chrome painted part and painted the rest black. When I removed the masking tape from the chrome painted part, the chrome paint had dulled and wrinkled much like the pattern in the masking tape. Honestly, the dull metallic wrinkle look wasn't too bad; however, I decided to start over and do my horn in all black.

Where did you find the chrome lug nuts from? If you could send a link that would be great.
