chroming carb body
Scooter Centre were selling Stage6 PWK type carbs with a black body - looked well trick IMO.
You could consider painting the carb body and have a polished bellmouth or something

I self polish my carbs with a 6in polishing mop kit from Machine Mart on a bench grinder. Kit comes complete with adaptor, coarse and fine mops + polishing compound. Use a fine hand file to remove any burrs etc and you should get a very reasonable shine to the carb body.
NO IT'S NOT A F***IN* MOPED!!!!!!

Lol,
why put a spell checker on this site, the spelling mistakes are half the fun, then there are always the typing errors, and slips of the fingers, these all add to the fun of reading the posts.
Then there are people, who don`t know when to use commers,,,
Just noticed G.C.E. in 1964 so how old are you??
No I won`t say a word

What about chrome powder coating?
Such as : http://www.the-polisher.com/id13.html
I'd have thought you could mask/block off all areas not requiring coating first a lot easier than if chroming...
