I bought some liquid gold leaf at a art shop, they also had silver, the gold does what it says on the bottle though

Thank you all for the replies. Grendel you have opened up a window of opportunity, my wife is out shopping I think I'll go nosey through her arts and crafts stuff %)
grendel:

I don't mind buying a bottle if it does the job - covering the hydraulic rams on my booms, such a small job I can't even airbrush them without covering the rest of the jibs in overspray, they are just 20mm long by 1mm diameter.

Wouldn't it be easier to replace the plastic with steel or aluminium wire, polished up?

It was stainless steel, but at such a scale it still looks dull, hence the reason for wanting a chrome type paint, its for use on the hydraulic rams on my crane jibs.
