I find that the more paint you add, the less realistic the chrome looks.

I used the Alclad stuff and it was quite perfuse with orange peel. I sanded it down and polished it and that was very much better.
I have always heard to not be more than an inch away from the surface and use very, very light coats. I use maybe 3-4 coats of very light painting. That tends to work well. I think my problem lies in the application of the black undercoat.
