Contact local custom car companies. Or look under 'Plating, Electroplating, Chroming' in the phone directory.

Also, these sites have caustic dip used to remove paint etc (poss rust) from metal. Also, chrome is 'one' of the platings.
I believe copper goes first over the conductive paint, then Chromium. I'd go for Nickel, weird color and VERY hard.

I dunno, this is not something I know lots about, best of luck.
