I use Bare-Metal foil for simulating stainless steel on my model trains with
good results and you are correct it is far from chrome.  It is possible I
believe to buff it to a shiner state to work as a reflector, althow I can
see problems installing it on a concave surface with out wrinkles that would
deflect light defeating the purpose of reflecting it.  I do believe using
chrome paint and buffing it to a shine would work as well with less trouble
than Bare-Metal foil.  Another idea that might just work would be to use
silver leaf on the bad areas of your reflector.  You can get a kit at any
Hobby Shop or Craft Store and again buff it to a shine.

Subject: Chrome stick-on paper
 
I read about something called bare-metal foil on another Mopar site.
It's supposed to be a chrome-like self adhesive paper that works good
on small trim pieces like dash trim. I found some in the hobby store
last nite... it looked like silver painted paper to me! No way does this
stuff look ANYTHING like chrome! It was over $6 for a 4" x 8" sheet,
too. Anybody ever use anything like this with good results?
