Chrome to tends keep thing’s hot, not don’t correctly makes them tend to become brittle and adds weight to pieces. Unless it’s a show truck I wouldn’t recommend it.

They do have a painting process now that they can paint practical anything with a chrome finish in any color. It’s done with a two stage chemical and water I believe and it’s flexible. Do some research you should be able to find a link on google. Let me know if you can’t find it and I’ll dig through some of my old links.

Chrome won't get you home, but plating might lead to mating.

I just don't see a whole lot on this engine and engine bay that screams chrome. Maybe the support brackets. There is however lots of surface area covered in plastic that could be air brushed or hydrodipped with a cool theme. Maybe pre 2019 engine bays are different.

nope, mine is similar. may look into hydro dipping now that you mention it.I just don't see a whole lot on this engine and engine bay that screams chrome. Maybe the support brackets.
