Sure, Shazia. Keep the temperature above 25 C. Many processes require a proper operating temperature. It would not surprise me at all that this is one of them. Why is this a hardship for your circumstance?

Are you talking about chrome plating or chromate conversion coating? It makes a big difference.

I thought he was talking about water-based chrome-look paint, Jim. But now you've made me wonder.
