Saw one on a D19 at a show a few years back. I didn't really care for it all that much. Would cost a lot more than paint and not look as good.

my grill and shroud is perfect  fenders no ,one hood side has afew ding .    my first thought was to chrome the center piece between the  hood sides , but that would be very annouying looking down that in the sun  and would end up getting painted

Local guy around here did his Series IV and didn't like it and replaced with another painted one. I think he still has the chromed one but I'd need to check. What really set his tractor off, (IMO) was chroming the control handles and shift levers. Those were a nice touch and did not approach gawdy. The tractor is a very nice restoration purchased new by the family at the implement dealer I help out. 
That's All Folks!
