Chrome Effect

Hi all,

I think I may have posted about this before but I dont think I got a reply so forgive me for posting again. Im pretty new to the Gimp and so far Ive been trying to do some photoshop tutorials in it but I am having a major problem getting one of the effects the same as in PS.
The effect is the Chrome one that is in PS. The tool dialog looks like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/drakonslair/Chrome/chromesetting.jpg

Basically its starts out with a black background with five flares in it, one in each corner and one in the center. After the chrome effect is applied the image should resemble this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v354/drakonslair/Chrome/afterstep5.jpg

I want to end up with something that looks like this:

I used the Tomcat tutorial to get something similar but its not really good enough so I was hoping you could help

Really appreciate any help Gerry

Thanks for the reply.
I have already tried to apply the tutorial to it but just didnt come out like I wanted.
I can get the chrome effect to a certain degree but there seems to be something misssing from what the chrome effect in photoshop does. The ps one look more fluid/ watery.
I could be using it wrong. Ill give it another go and see what I get.
