I agree with J.C.. Another option is to chrome just the bottom 1/3rd of the fork. If you chrome the entire fork (not the steerer tube of course) including the lugs then it might look odd that the other lugs aren't chromed and or the entire chain and seat stays aren't chromed, so if you do what a lot of vintage bikes did and do just the lower third of the the fork then the painted fork lug will match the other painted lugs. Of course there were some vintage bikes that did just chromed the entire fork and lugs and not chrome anything else which always looked a bit odd to me personally, but you may like it that way. Also if you only chrome the lower third of the fork it will be cheaper but the forks upper third will need to be repainted because I don't think you can chrome a part without damaging the paint nearby, but maybe they can?

I think that CyclArt charges around $225 to chrome a fork but check with them for the actual price but usually local platers can do it for less but they may not have the skill to do a bicycle fork.

Do be aware that chrome is porous which will allow water molecules to pass through and get the underlying metal to rust over time, and the chroming technique used on bike frames and forks is extremely thin vs chrome car wheels for example, so either have the chrome clear coated or you need to regularly use a chrome cleaner and chrome wax (actually use a wheel wax) on it to seal out the water. Some people say to use a chrome polisher after washing then use a wheel wax problem is that as I mentioned before that a bike frame and fork that is chromed uses a very microscopic thin layer of chrome that I would be worried about using an chrome polish that uses abrasives to get that polish look and in turn could, over time, take some of the chrome right off. For a more maintenance and worry free chrome I would clear coat it.
