You can dip it in shiny paint too. Its not stainless steel but its good enough

No worries, the OEM ones aren't stainless steel, either. They're "stainless appearance," i.e. plastic with a thin veneer of cheesy chrome plating that's about one molecule thick.

You can electroplate 3D prints by using a basecoat of conductive spraypaint, and then the limit of the thickness of your plating is only really limited by your patience. Nickel is quite easy to do at home.

I quite like electroplating with titanium. Can vary the voltage for some great colors too.
