Rust-oleum silver or Krylon metallic silver for my pachinko machine's trim?
I have an 1950-ish Heiwa pachinko machine, and am working on the plastic trim (it has chrome-like edges). Which paint is best for this: Rust-oleum silver or Krylon metallic silver, or is there another paint for this? Will either damage the plastic? Or, is there someone that could do this for me?
Thanks everyone, for their answers.

Make sure to do a great job of masking first.
Then use #000 Steel Wool and lightly go over the chrome places to be sprayed, wipe clean.
Spray gray primer on those areas and allow to fully dry.
Then spray a light coat using Krylon "Chrome" paint.
[It will be the closes you can get without having the piece re-chromed which could cost big$$$$$.]
You must allow the first light coat of chrome paint to dry for at least 4 hours.
Then very lightly, scuff the chrome painted surface with the steel wool.
Then spray a second even coat of the Chrome paint and allow to dry 24 hours.
DO NOT RUSH THIS PROCESS!
When Dried, very lightly scuff those areas again with steel wool and wipe clean.
Spray a third but light even coat of Chrome paint, and allow to dry for 48 hours.
Once dried, you should have a fairly decent sprayed on chrome job.
Remove very carefully all the masking.
Voila! Your piece will be restored.
I used this method when I was restoring a 1971 SS454 Chevelle, and no one could tell the difference. It was used to redo the chrome edges that circled the gages. Really Kick-A_ _ car!
I hope that this helps you.
Work in a well ventilated are, and wear a face mask.
Good Luck.
Happy Holidays!
