It may not be chrome, but the aluminum spray finishes work well.
Not as shiny as a true chrome and might get you closer to the brushed look.
The aluminum won't pick up finger prints and oil off your skin like the chrome does.

The aluminum can tarnish from handling, but no where near as fast or as much as a chrome finish.
Whatever you use, let it thoroughly dry before handling.
