That is a great pvc replica!
To answer your question, for a shinier metallic finish, I would try a layer of silver spray paint, followed by some rub'n'buff silver accents, covered in a gloss clear coat. It won't be chrome, but in my experience "chrome" paints are never the mirror finish they're advertised as.

Fine work there... very sweet. The one piece of advice I've got about the silver paint (and paint in general) would be to give a very soft sanding to every paint coat up until the final, to knock the texture of the paint down. Really fine sandpaper (1000 grit) or even a section of brown paper grocery bag will do (my woodworking cousin uses those between varnish coats). Be sure to clean the dust off before the next coat! Can't wait to see this progress on this saber...
