Any good places to have headlight housing re-chrommed?

I am doing a retrofit on my 01' Prelude, and I was wondering if you guys know of any places that can re-chrome the plastic housing because mine is in bad shape. Also is there anywhere ant can get a black chrome finnish like on the CTR headlights? Thanks Guys.

All of the "chrome" paint I have seen turns out silver with no luster, and I do not want black housings.

Krylon makes a smoked chrome spray that is made for spraying over chromed surfaces. Looks pretty good, i did mine with it.

DIY or new headlights is gonna be cheaper than having someone do it for you...

Used Prelude headlights go for 200+ each, and new ones are almost 400 each, so I would think someone could re chrome it for cheaper maybe.
