Chrome
Chrome,
with reference to an automobile, describes any unpainted metallic
surface that has a shiny, mirror-like surface. Traditionally,
many external elements of a car, such as bumpers, window frames,
handles, wing mirrors, trim, etc., were given a chrome finish
by taking iron alloy parts and electroplating them with the
element chromium. This process gives a hard, corrosion-resistant
lustrous covering. However, most modern cars have very little
chrome, except sometimes on alloy wheels.
