Probably to do, but possibly not affordable.

You left out critical information. How thick is the part. How much chrome will you put on it. How big a chamfer and can it be plated. What parent metal. How many parts at a time. Turn around time.
It will have to be ground after plate and if not done perfectly, the chrome will peel.
The part will require masking and will require custom bleeders (thieves).
