Why paint it, polish it and plate it with real chrome http://www.caswellplating.com/kits/plugnplate.htm
I did a bunch of brass parts on the firetruck and they turned out real nice.

After priming them if you use some aluminum high temp header paint and after drying for a day rub them with a micro fiber cloth and the will polish up better than that chrome paint from Eastwood. Ed
