making a good chrome texture and hard plastic

I am looking to make a good chrome texture that I can render out in mental ray that looks realistic. I think I saw one on a tutorial I did a few years back but I can't find it. I also and looking to make hard black plastic.

Hey, I am trying to work on a chrome material. I am also new to maya. What does "FG" and "HDRI" mean? Any other tips for making chrome?

FG = final gather HDRI = high dynamic range image. Chrome is the color of what it reflects. So you have to set up some sort of reflected environment.
