Not relavant to your question nino but Here is some interesting information on nickel plating nino,if you decide to go that way according to the article  the desired finish can be obtained with using 2-3 finishes overlapping.i doubt a painted finish will hold up with the constant ball wear.

I have a Nickel plating bath in my garage, but it won't be able to successfully plate a part this size. I would have to take to a Business that does the plating for me. But I'm curious as to why I should have to plate it - as the finish looks like it was originally painted.
