    You could do it in Photoshop. Add an outer glow to the text.

    I often do this for visuals where we do stainless steel or mirror lettering as you can use the photoshop layer styles to give an idea of how it will look.

    yep, would do the same autosign…
    these sort of visuals are difficult rich, do it like aurosign has said, use chrome/silver fills for text with outer halo glow. not hard to do… having said that, use some past work or pictures of similar to explain this will be how it looks and your just giving a visual.
