Chrome plating engine components

[CumminFast]

I want to chrome plate my turbos, valve covers, fuel lines, and all my twin piping. Where do I get this done? What kind of paint does it have to be?

Chrome or Paint ?

I would ceramic coat my exhaust and turbo components, this can be done at a reputable powder coat shop that offers it. There is a nice looking polished aluminizing coating done at the powder coat shops as well, might even be the same product just polished.



A chrome shop can handle the other metal parts.

Chrome won't hold up on high temp parts. Look at the motorcycle exhaust that has blued. Some people on here say that ceramic coating won't hold up either. I don't have any first hand experience with ceramic coating on the exhaust manifold or turbo, so I can't say. I do have the headers on my 32 and my Camaro ceramic coated and they hold up fine.
