Metal plating (6)

I believe the answer is:

chrome

(Other definitions for chrome that I've seen before include "Metallic element" , "Chinese callisthenic system" , "used to make plate" , "Hard stuff for plating - yellow pigment" , "Deep yellow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
