Chrome is much more reflective than white, that's why you can see yourself it it.
The performance of white sits about half way between chrome and light colours (red, light blue, light green).
There's a reason why radiant heat insulation is always chrome (or gold), and why they use mirrors to reflect light onto molten salt reactors and not white panels.
The seat buckle feels hot because metal transfers heat faster than the plastic surround even though both are at the same temperature. Same principle hot coal walkers use - high temps- inefficient heat transfer.
My chrome roof now stays wet after a morning shower for the whole day, I've never seen that before.
