I polished my wheels, and I started to polish the spokes but there is so much pitting I can't get to all the spots. I figure I'll just end up painting the spokes silver, unless I can find some paint that looks like chrome. I remember reading somewhere about a high temp paint like this, but I can't find it right now. Anybody know of a product like this/?

Dupont and Dupicolor both make a metalcast chrome paint. You wont need high temp because nothing it heating up. I mean you can, but you wont need it. Its textured most of the time anyway.

So I can spray either of those products on, do a little wet sanding, and then clear coat and it will look pretty decent? I don't expect a bright chrome finish, but I want something a little more polished looking than plain silver. Thanks for the suggestions, Ima go read about those paints.

Yea, make sure it is made for metals and what not, it will usually say metalcast or metaltallic, and then use on aluminum, billet, steel, etc. I used some on my car parts!!! Works great!! Just make sure you prep everything good, let everything cure before adding the next coat, especially the clear.
