There are a number of different alternative painting or finishing methods you could use but none of them will be that "gold chrome" finish. In my experience they'll be more like a weathered, dirty version of C-3PO.
Off the top of my head you could go with a gold rub-n-buff and I've also seen some decent results with automotive gold paint. I'll dig around and see if I can find some images of different finishes.
Oh, and;
