Chrome finish on War Eagle Spinnerbaits

Just wondering if anyone knows what type of finish is used on war eagle spinnerbaits to get that shiny, almost chrome, finish. It’s thinner than anything I’ve seen powder dipped. Just wondering if anyone has figured this out.

i get the same type of shine from refined lead from super heating it to remove scum and  debris from the lead!

I've used chrome powder paint and it's nothing like real chrome.

You could also try applying foil to the lead head.

I've used holographic foil on lead jigs before with good success.

I buy foil made for foiling paper such as greeting cards from eBay.

Heat the jig and press the foil on in a carpenters vise lined with silicone rubber.

Works pretty good especially on flatter style jigs and it's fairly inexpensive.

Thanks for all of the ideas guys. I ran across this spray paint the other day, and though it sprays a bit heavy, it’s not a bad chrome finish. Not perfect, but pretty good.

50-50 chrome powder/clear powder will be my next trial.
