What paint would you use? I haven't had much luck finding chrome paint that can withstand outdoor use

Well I actually used the Rustoleum ''Bright Coat Metallic Finish'' for the grill, but I just realized afterward it was for outdoor use. The website indicates indoor/outdoor use, but it says on the bottle ''not recommended for outdoor use''. The paint stays on fine for now, but I did not really put it to the test! I am scared to paint the middle part with the same paint...I heard the Spaz Stix Chrome and the VHT Metal Finish were the best chrome spray paint.

The Rustoleum paint is exactly what I used before. It turns into a dull grey after exposure to the elements.

I'll check out the other paints you mentioned. There's also a couple of choices from Plastidip but they're more metallic than chrome

Thanks for letting me know. I will have to decide weither I paint the middle part with the same paint or just sand the grill and start fresh with a new chrome spray paint.
