+1! thats the only thing that will keep it reflective.
backing it with white will make it look like this... ( the silver spot with the black fades is actually chrome)


but if you use pre prep, are sure to make it very even in a coat, and back it with water based black, it can come out like this


also, spray spaz stix surface pre prep before spraying chrome. it will help it stick to the body, and keep any scratches that are on the inside of the body from showing up.
