When alloyed with other metals (chromium steel) or used to plate metal parts, chromium has a mirror-like metal shine that retains its finish. It also resists corrosion and was widely used for metal grillwork, bumpers, exhausts, hub caps, and door handles. With the advent of plastic and fiberglass parts, other materials were used for the bright finishes and replaced much of the heavy chrome.
