I would still ask to see some of his work,just to be sure he's capable of doing the kind of chroming you are looking for.
As far as photos go, cars and shinny things are hard to photo. Over many years of taking photos of cars I have found bright sunny days play against you causing hot spots and dark areas.
A cloudy day produces all around light which works a lot better many times for getting a good pic of a vehicle.
A camera picks one light value to expose with unlike your eye which adjust to every thing you look at.
I'm not saying you can't get a decent photo on a sunny day, it depends on what you're trying to photograph.
