an aluminum intake can be chromed... but unlike steel where the part is copper plated first and polished to smooth the last imperfections.. you apply chrome dirrectly to aluminum, so you have to get the polishing PERFECT..... also not every plater chromes aluminum so ask arround first.. its supposed to be tricky, so chances are that they will tell you that it might, might not go well.. and that its problem if it doesnt (atleast thate the message i got once)

the idea of blocking off the interior might be a realy good one... id hate to have my engine swallow a chrome flake!
