    Eh, I can't figure it out either (image location won't copy right), but I see what you're on about.

    Personally, I'd leave it chrome. Even Stormtroopers had a little metallic on them.

    Just some advise if your painting anything plastic or vinyl. make sure that you add a flex additive to the paint otherwise it will flake off. and when doing the interior you need to scuff up the panels good, and spray first with a binding coat usually the binder(etcher) will be clear.
