What do I do to shoot digital images of a product with a chrome logo to get the logo to look crome with some body to it without it being blasted looking, or black?

Check out this thread on photo.net. There is some good advice there, ranging from a $90 shooting tent to a complex studio setup.

Kate,

I used to use a cone for tent lighting, made from flexable translucent plastic available at most plastic shops. If you want to add 'modeling' to the chrome, paint a black vertical stripe on one side of the cone.
