Of course, I have no doubt that somebody's going to be painting all of that chrome sooner or later.
I've used some products in model making from Mr Hobby - they're called Super Metallic paints. They give a very realistic (and durable) metal finish.
Just a warning though, they're lacquer based, so beware of them on the plastics used here and the underlying coats of paint. Fine on styrene and resin, maybe not so much on this.
