If you are serious about this, I would find a reputable plating shop who will do Triple Plate Chrome, Copper, Nickel, and finally Chrome.
I did this for an older Jeep project that I did about 25 years ago. The plating is still flawless.
The key factor is the polishing before it gets plated. I did my own just because, but they will provide that surface finish polishing for you. Think of a paint job, the surface you paint is what you see in the final results.
A piece like a Shift Rod shouldn't be that expensive.
Just for consideration.
