Here are bumpers powdercoated in extreme chrome, but without the clear coat on them they looked just like chrome or very highly polished aluminum .

That's the big issue with dual stage chrome powders. Unfortunately, without the clear topcoat it isn't UV stable so it will oxidize eventually.
These days there are single stage chrome powders that stay looking good.
