I've used chrome spray before with success. THe one thing I learned (after developing the patience to let things fully dry) is to used the same brand name for all paints. i.e. Krylon fusion primer, krylon fusion chrome. I've had all sorts of weirdness happen when I mix paint brands, especially if the over coat has any type of gloss.
This is SO True , always try to use the same brands , even when the can says it's the same type of paint , you never can be sure . I also found out that clear coats are best sprayed when the temperature is higher , when it's cold you might get an uneven result.
