The trouble with re-chroming is getting all the pits out and polishing first, if you chrome a turd you get a shiny turd but you still can't really polish it.
As for the exhaust wrap thing, WTF is all that about? Never did get that little fetish, only really useful between headers and a turbo to keep the gasses expanded or under a crammed bonnet, but on a regular bike, NO!!!!!
Back to heat proof paint I recon, how about stove paint? I seem to recall something that you could buff up to a shine for stoves, zebu springs to mind but brain ache says I could be wrong.

Edit: Zebo is the one that may be long gone, zebu is a cow that will not help your downpipes unless you bbq it on them.
