chrome-plated
Given metallic finish
Chrome-plated describes something coated with a thin layer of chromium, giving it a shiny, mirror-like metallic finish: chrome-plated bumpers, chrome-plated bathroom fixtures.
The coating protects against corrosion while adding visual flash.
Figuratively, chrome-plated suggests something superficially impressive but perhaps lacking substance beneath the gleaming surface.
