Chrome painted helmet shot?????

o.k. I've looked all over the forum and can't find the thread that had the post about the chrome paint. Someone posted a shot of a helmet that was painted silver chrome. I'm very interested in finding that post again so I can research the finish.... One of you moderator types posted the photo if I'm not mistaken. If you could point me in the direction of that post I'd be very thankful... on this Thanksgiving Eve... Thanks.

Ace Hardware sells it in spray cans. If the surface is very smooth to begin with it looks quite good but is a color and is not reflective of images.

And the answer is ...

Alsacorp.com !! I had found them already and was actually looking for a price alternative to their ChromeFX. It would seem to be the answer to the polish and maintain routine but at a price only the folks with very deep pockets could imagine.
Full reflectivity even better than the Ghostchrome but way too much $$$
I keep reasearching though.
