Aiyah...

The term Chrome is actually chromium platting. Gold platting is an electrolysis application to attach real gold of varies quality into conduction surface.

If you want shiny reflective surface, then it's more expensive to do it at home. U cannot spray. But if the emblem is metal, u can polish it until it's shiny. It'll take damn long to do it. And not long lasting.

hahahahah...
as mentioned, cheapest and easiest way is to spray on it..
smooth/shiny or not depends on ur skill bro...
mayb u can practice on sumthing else first..

else, electrolysis is da way..
if u wana diy, ull hv to do lotsa homework on it
and, ull need a gold to make it done..
right?

just my 2cents
