Rainer,
This is probably not the place to post this but to answer your question;
The chrome painting was the first attempt by my painter to try this technique and I was very impressed. It is actually not chrome paint but a series of colors applied as a base that when completed looks like chrome. The results were stunning but because it is VERY labor intensive the cost was equivelent to vacume chroming. However, I don't have the fear of shipping. Below is the finished dash using the painting technique. Total cost (which will get better with experience) was around $750.
