Chromed paint do any really work?

I am going to polish my formy rims and I was wondering if anyone makes a chromed paint that actually works and looks like chrome so that I could paint my WS6 Center caps chrome?

My other option is finding chromed center caps they only site that I knew of was http://members.***.net/andyfrangos/ however this site is no longer working. Does any one else know of other suppliers?

I would prefer to chrome paint my originals since I will no longer have a use for them after the polish however if i cant get a good result that way I would then have to purchase new ones.

I used the so called "chrome" paint before (not on anything to do with my car) and I personally think it sucks. I wouldn't waste my time or money again.

Just buy some crome caps, I got mine off ebay do a search on ebay for firebird center caps, 2nd 3ed gen should fit, the ones I got were for 78 trans am, but the fit fine into the GTA lace wheels, I am getting the wheels powder coated, and then polishing up the outer edge. They were new in plastic, sorry the pic is blurry
