I have to agree with '89 above: chips etc. will detract from your work.

Do you like the bright shiny look, or are you OK with a slight dullness? If the latter, then have them properly anodized. However, as a polisher of alloy on British motorcycles, I can tell you that I love to polish my stripped and polished FUCHs. Every time I apply the rouge I get a better and better finish, and they are pretty near chrome now. So you can continue to "refine" your work over the years!

That's what I'd do.
