Here is a picture of the area in question. I attempted to use a "silver foil" paint which was close but not close enough. The areas circled are the "silver foil" paint I used. Plus some areas are still a little bare.

I would see if you could just replace the whole part. but .. $$$

i've used the aluminum metal duct tape (from lowes or home depot) with great success. you tape it on, rub the high spots, then use a sharp knife to cut away the extra, a quick polish after and it's very hard to tell you did it!

Bird Brains Idea is good one

Why not just paint the old "chromed" areas flat black?

How about something like this?

Bare-Metal is Used for Detailing Model Cars, and Aircraft - Bare-Metal Foil Co.

This is what you want. Bare metal is easy to use, very thin, and conforms to curves.
The picture below shows it around the windows.

That looks great! I'd rather have the original chrome appearance than painting it some other color. I feel it wouldn't look as good and wouldn't match the rest of the cell.

I like the Idea, I have been just masking certain areas and Painting my bad frames for a while, Usually in an aircraft aluminum paint and then doing a couple of coats of fine metalic flake from a can, but you need artificial light to make them look good. I did an OLD rizmu bros machine recently for donation in white to offset the black and yellow theme using the same metal flake and it turned a Pearl creme color. It was an accident but it looked pretty good.
