I recently saw a re-run of a "My Classic Car" show where they were visiting Jay Leno's garage. Jay was showing some new ways to restore and maintain old vehicles using recently developed technology. One of the scenes showed him talking about a way to duplicate chrome plating with a liquid that is poured over the item. It looked like chrome from the way it was shown. Something to consider.

I did some research on that spray on "chrome" Basically it's a silver nitrate solution then washed with sodium hydroxide leaving just the silver. From what I hear it's not overly durable and turns a gold color when the needed top coat is applied. Also the equipment and materials are quite expensive.
