on the heat shields and chroming, I couldnt be 100% what works best. generally speaking I'd go for a serious polish back (its a pretty vicious process, I use 60 grit belts in a powerfile for the first stage then work up through different grits, I'm aiming for smooth perfect surface) then I'd go copper first and then a really good coat of nickel (I'm not bothered about the chrome, you'll probably lose it with a few polishes anyway).
worth mentioning that sometimes platers use the copper to fill pitting in old parts before re plating, I polished a set of headlight ears (gopping would describe them) that had been done this way and all I can say is I wouldnt ever do it that way
