Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome will make it shine like a mirror, if the surface it's sprayed on is mirror smooth. It shines on both sides so if sprayed on glass you get reflection both on the paint side and through the glass. It also works on plastics. It was developed to be sprayed on the inside of vacuum formed Lexan radio control car bodies. It will convert a CD jewel case lid into a styrene mirror.

For the brightest shine you'd want to apply this Spaz Stix paint over a bright white, high gloss paint.

Rust-Oleum makes a similar paint but it only reflects through what it's applied to. The paint side remains dull. It doesn't work on styrene because the carrier solvent used attacks that plastic. They also make a gold version. Not as shiny but it's the only paint I've found that shows a smooth metal finish through a transparent substrate. All other "gold" paints I've tried show a speckly 'metallic' finish even when on the paint side they appear to have a fairly uniform and shiny metal look.
