Default Looking for chromium color covering

O.k. One of my winter builds/salvage is a Lanier Cap232.....I have (in my eye) a good color scheme for the plane.
The trouble is I haven't been able to find a chrome red or burgandy covering.....Chromium (flat chrome) would look even better.
Flat chrome is what I am realy looking for.
If any one has any sugestions I would love to hear them.
Thanks

Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but Ultracote sells Chrome covering that is exceptionally shiny. here is a pic of my 4* with it. Kind of blinding.

I have used Ultracote silver that is not as shiny as chrome. It is harder to work with than regular colors.
