Default Dull metallic jigs

I have a lot of metal jigs with the chrome worn off of them. I'm trying to figure out a way to refinish them back to shiny. They are all beyond being polished.

Any suggestions?

Maybe try painting them...I did a few years ago-even used some luminous paint for nite blues...they all worked pretty well...don't know what you have--I had AVA's various sizes...just a thought.....

I would try the tape also . It's made for that , and I guess some tackle shops carry it .

you can buy spray paint that is high gloss gold or silver, clean jigs and try it, might work and you can always re-spray, looks like a plating job
