The decorative or protective finish on vehicle fittings, etc (6)

I believe the answer is:

chrome

(Other definitions for chrome that I've seen before include "Brilliant finish" , "Shiny metallic plating" , "Metal plating - type of yellow" , "shiny stuff" , "Plate (for bathroom fixtures etc)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
