cool little chevy!
1/32 scale decals for vehicles are tuff to find, most modelers stick with 1/24 or 1/25, a lot of military decals for 1/32 as it's a popular scale for that media.
Slixx decals has hi quality stuff (got one of their Jungle Jim decal kits) but did'nt see what your looking for. they do make custom decals though-maybe go that route.
could also try UltraCal or Gofer decals, but i think you will still need to get them printed...or if you have a printer, make your own. not hard or expensive. good quality printer can be had for 50-60 clams and a couple bucks for decal paper.

i find an image of what i need online, then go here to reduce it to whatever size i need..best to try find multiple images of what you need, not all images reduce to the size you may need to see very clearly

print a copy on plain paper to make sure it will fit ok and see how it will look, then print it on decal paper. should always print a plain paper one first, it will save your decal paper if you don't like it or whatever.
if your happy with it, you need to seal the ink before you use it so it don't run when you soak the decal. i use Testors Decal Bonder, but any good clear will work.
also be aware, decal paper comes in white and clear.
clear lets the body color thru where there is no ink, white is white and nothing shows thru.

and have you tried anything from Molotow for your chrome needs?
never came across any ink/paint/powder that looks more like chrome than Molotow

you can get it in marker pens (1mm, 2mm, and 3mm tips) or in bulk liquid.
i find the 1mm pen is perfect for doing emblems, wipers, body mouldings and i use the bulk with a fine brush for bigger stuff.
