Alsa Mirrachrome is one, but it's for larger stuff.

There is a chrome paint intended for models, it's used over gloss black for a true chrome appearance.
There's this, but it says it requires special equipment:

These guys can apparently chrome (silve, actually) anything:

AHA! Here's the model paint I was looking for (mlomaka had it right):

Not just chrome, but a whole mess of natural metal finishes, like dark aluminum, burnt metal, and magnesium. Could have all sorts of uses in race or serious street car models.
