chromed

Given metallic finish

Chromed describes something coated or plated with chromium, giving it a bright, mirror-like metallic finish: chromed bumpers, chromed exhaust pipes.

The look is associated with classic cars, motorcycles, and retro aesthetics.

Figuratively, chromed can suggest something polished to flashy excess—all surface shine.
