Max,

I was at my local plating shop getting some car parts re-chromed and asked
them.  They said no problem and suggested using hard stable wood which was
dry and sealed well.  Their process starts with a graphite coating then
copper, then nickel, and then chrome.  Of course you can stop at whichever
coating you prefer.

BTW- They said it you can even get a final coating of gold if you want to
spend the $$$'s.

Check with your local plating shop.  You may get better results for less
$'s.

Hope this helps.
