It is described on the website under the heading "chrome effect", so not real chrome - and that is obvious from the description of the process. That might work for something internal and not exposed to weather, I suppose....

Then it probably is.

Re-chroming is a complex process and involves nasty chemicals which is why it is getting harder to find good suppliers.
