chrome is ok, comes out more like a bright silver and i use clear on all chrome. it holds up ok, ive done frames in it with great results.

i have done a ton of trans red frames, but i dont have any pics of one with yellow plastic.

also, do you do a cherry red? Looking at the trans red with the red plastic, not sure if i like that version of red with red plastic. What about like normal red, or candy red. Any other type shade of red.

or use a darker base coat

ill look at some color chips and see if anything is close to what i think your asking about
