You can chrome anything, but why don't you just polish it instead?

Buy a can of Mothers, clean the case and mounts really good then wipe it on, wipe it off, wipe it on, wipe it off, until you can see yourself.

It'll take a while to make it "chromy"

Missing a few steps though, you have to clean all the paint off and then sand them down to where they start shining and then start using the Mothers, Look for a thread by mxjunkie on how to polish, it was really good and detailed.

You get chrome done where people offer chroming..lol Powder coaters/painters don't automatically offer chroming services but some do.

Contact Popo on this site, he specializes in chrome and from what I hear does great work ;)
