I don't expect the chrome PC to be like the real thing but

Whatever you like is the right answer. I used what Marc Haibeck calls "Fine Silver" that is his closest match to stock, and I retained stock black bolts because my plan was to keep the look as close to stock as possible (the "Haibeck 350 510 HP" letters are removable). Also I know Marc has his engines painted rather than use powder coating, although I can't remember what is reasoning was on this. You might give him a call to ask. Also his website has a number of pictures of different finishes.--Bob
