Considering that chrome isn't a kind of paint the answer would be no!
Unlike conventional chrome-plating the chrome on toys like Transformers actually a form of vacuum-metallising. The closest you can get is shiny silver paints, but you cannot paint chrome. The shiniest kind of metallic silver model/miniature paint I know of is mithril.
Well I hadn't seen it before in any fiction. I don't collect Lego but if I saw that in toy shelves I would think it was just a "pointless repaint" of the Delta-7.
Rampage: You might also want to coat the silver with some kind of protective purity seal, especially on missiles (as they will naturally get rubbed/scratched whenever you put them in and out of launchers). Such paints, seals, brushes etc. are easily available at hobby stores, Games Workshops etc.

Actually House of Kolor paints and another automative refinisher cant rememver what one do have chrome paint which isnt just a shiny silver and is very very close to chrome plating also very expensive though

I just Googled "chrome paint" and from what I'm reading chrome paint appears to be paints that are highly reflective and thus mimic chrome. They are of course, not true chrome. And yeah... they do look expensive. I saw one site selling 946mL of chrome paint for AU$643.50 (excluding GST)! Furthermore, from what I can see here chrome paints are only available in spray form which would require buying an air-brush and/or spray gun. Not worth it considering that you can get a Japanese reissue on e-Bay for US$95 (even with the crummy state of the AUD). A shiny silver paint would be a cheaper and easier option IMO.

the only way to make chrome and metallics actually look right is in spray form because whats makes them shiny is little pieces of aluminium foil, and when they are brushed on the aluminium foil (metallic) doesnt sit in the paint correctly and therefore doesnt reflect the light the way it should and that is why it may look darker than what it should

My Haul for October
2X Optimus Prime T-Shirts from Jay Jays
Transformers: MTMTE Vol 1 from Kinokuniya
Animated Voyager Grimlock and Deluxe Snarl from K-mart
I don't care much for the animated line and vowed never to purchase any figures but I have such a soft spot for the Dinobots and couldn't resist. Now I have to track down a Swoop and hope there are more additions to the Dinobot family in the future.
I just hope this doesn't start a trend where I start collecting the Animated line, I can't afford it
