Chrome disappearing.

Hi all,
As an enthusiastic user I like to report the following.
When I build a platform and start off with the gold/chrome color I get a nice chrome surround around all the fixtures.
At least after I change the color to black or so.
When I have built a model with this platform, the chrome seems to vanish.
I'm using a laptop with an i3 core and a Geforce GT520M card running Windows 7.
The quality slider is all the way to the right and FXAA is switched on.
Is it a glitch or something?
