Chrome mirror touch up

[Jake21]

Has anyone found a good touch up paint for chrome? One of my mirrors has a spot that is peeling due to a rock hit.

I actually found a chrome spray paint at an auto parts store. I used it on a piece on a scooter restoration and it looked pretty good. It's not chrome, but it's a decent substitute.

Cool. Thanks.

Jake,
I've used this stuff for years in various "Chrome repair" situations. One in particular, my '08 Honda GL 1800 Goldwing has Chrome valve covers. My bike fell over on an angled lookout one day and damaged one of the valve covers. I put a piece of this chrome tape on it and even if you get real close, you can't see that tape. It blends in super well.

I've used both the Krylon spray and touch-up pen on chrome-type applications with mixed results. Real chromium plating on metal, it doesn't do a very good job but chrome plating on plastic, I've had some good results.
