No...it'll just look like silver paint, not chrome no matter what the lid on the can looks like. Instead, try to clean the frame using an SOS or Brillo pad and water, then rinse well and wax it with car wax.

No paint will match the original chrome. If the frame is structurally sound, try spot-cleaning rust spots etc. with an old toothbrush and some WD-40. Then clean with soapy water and maybe apply some wax to protect the metal and shine it up.

There is no such thing as chrome paint, it's only a silver colored paint. Plating is a procedure all of it's own, can't do it with a spray bottle.

you can do this but you should first sand it down and clean it so that the paint will take.
