I saw a short clip on the 2012 SEMA show that showed a machine for a "chrome" (any color) finish on anything, plastic etc. It does a beautiful job.

I tracked down the machine and it was about $6k. I did not buy one. I have not found any shop that has it and is doing that kind of work. But, it looked like an easy process to just mask off the portion you don't want a "chrome" finish on.

Mine is the same shape as yours, and I hate to just paint it all flat black. If I didn't toss their website, I will post it and maybe you can track down a shop around you. If you see SEMA 2012 rerun on Speed channel try to catch the short segment.
