Found this Youtuber during a search last night and was impressed with his Alclad chrome with gold tint C-3PO suit. The way he shows what is needed and how to apply it and that it is even sturdy enough to handle it - even roughly - afterwards... and the fact that he clear coats the Alclad chrome application without losing the shine is just fantastic. And his step-by-step tests to see what looks best, what works best is really informative.
This is one of the videos describing what you need to get a good result.
