Default Stripping or powder coating engine

I'm going to do an engine upgrade and while it's apart I would like to make some changes.

My current engine is black highlighted. My bike is light colors and the black does not match well.

I would like to send it to have it stripped and chromed or powder coated.

I like the thought of bare aluminum and chrome, but heard that may be high maintenance.

Do you know of anybody that does that? Website? Opinions?

changed from grey to black, was not cheap. Went to a bigger bore so that took care of top end, new black cylinders and heads. Had bottom end split for trued flywheels, while they were apart shot with black heat proof spray. Really should have powder coated but I was trying to save a little money.
Tranny, I found a takeoff black and bought it to replace my grey.
All in all it was an expensive pain in the ***
