Chrome coating composition

A metallic coating composition for a substrate comprising:

• a) a first metallic layer, said first metallic layer comprising a mixture of approximately 50-80% Nickel and 50-20% Chromium;
• and
• b) a second metallic layer applied to said first metallic layer, said second metallic layer comprising approximately 99% Chromium.

A layered coating composition for a prepared substrate comprising:

• a) a first layer applied via a vacuum vapor deposition process, wherein said first layer is comprised of two metals, a first metal and a second metal, and wherein said first layer is comprised of approximately 50-80% of said first metal and approximately 50-20% of said second metal;
• and
• b) a second layer applied over said first layer via a vacuum vapor deposition process, wherein said second layer is comprised of approximately 99% of said second metal.
