I understand how you would want to do this project yourself, but since the fixtures are vintage i would suggest you let someone in the field do this to keep their value. The other aspect is, you can't just go out and get a can of "chrome" spray paint. If the fixtures are high gloss, you really should have someone else do it. They will have to sprayed and chances are you won't have the right equipment or space to do this project.
If you cannot find someone who specializes in this, and you're not concerned about the value, go to an auto body shop and see if they will spray them for you or send you to someone who can. Good luck...hope this helps.
