Auto parts and motorcycle shops often sell chrome tape kits for customizing and covering damage.
If you find something with weak adhesive, 3M makes a plastic emblem and trim adhesive for exterior applications. It can be used to bond thin metals.
Suppliers that cater to people who make their own fishing lures often have a variety of shiny metalic tapes available. If you find what you need there, be careful riding where the big barracudas are feeding, like New York.
