(in the US it's referred to as Candy paint)
You mean candy apple?
Candy apple doesn't have chrome underneath the paint.

It doesn't have to be over chrome but many people do it, especially on wheels. It's becoming more and more popular.
They even offer kits to give a body panel a chrome look with paint before the candy coat. It can look great.

Is that Panasonic frame above just painted normally? Or is it chromed underneath with some type of translucent orange type clear coat? (in the US it's referred to as Candy paint)
My frame is chromed underneath the worn paint and was looking into that option...but from what I understand there is a LOT of prep work/labor intensive to do a good job.
