I would use chrome paint...
They don't come apart, which is really necessary if you are going to electroplate it.. :cry:

i did use chrome paint they just look manky after a while.

the chrome paint never seems to set hard, maybe ill look into some 2pac chrome paint & cook it in the oven.

You could just get them zinc'd, looks nice and you won't have to pull them apart.

Chrome powdercoating comes up ok except needs to get to 200+ degrees. Recon they could handle it? Pm me if your interested or have a spare and Ill see if my mate will do it. He's cheap as, more doing it as a hobby/ to see how to powdercoat! So like I said wouldent be perfect but I was impressed!
