Mr. Biggs,
Noticed that you have a 57 Pres., I have a 57 Champion 2dr. Had the headlight bezels re-chromed, won't post the cost in case my wife sees this!!!
Previous to the chroming my bezels were painted, a la Scotsman; fast forward 15 years... and I wish I had left them painted!!!
Sometimes the old, shade tree mechanic way is cheaper, lasts longer and, as you say--Gives a Custom appearance!

Several people have told me from personal experience that the painted pieces, like the headlight rings for a Scotman, are actually much better for cores for chroming than any originally chromed piece. Seems the paint worked a charm from anything getting through. Shouldn't coating the back of a piece also help with the longevity of chrome?
