Chroming Aluminum, good idea?

[The T-man]

I have an aluminum manifold, I want to have it chromed
(no it's not an Edelbrock I can just buy in Endurashine, it's a custom manifold)
I hear it's a bad idea, will flake eventually, and have heard the opposing view that if done correctly it's OK

And powdercoating isn't shiny enough from any I have seen

so, anyone have experionce / feedback on this?
