No paint, check.
I'll get some metal polish and hope that it does the trick. Chrome isn't really a viable option for 1 little piece, there's nowhere local that does this so I'd be dealing with shipping costs x 2, whatever the costs to chrome a non-commercial order, and the risk of losing a vital piece if something goes wrong along the way.
Thanks for the tips!
Quoted from GregCon:You can paint them, but you must paint the balls the same color. That way, when the paint wears off the wireform, an equal amount of paint will be left behind as it wears off the ball.
The math checks out.

I have had a few messages though saying that paint can work, as long as you clear coat with several coats of poly after to protect it so it doesn't flake off. But powder coat (or chrome) is preferred value wise. Lucky for me, someone in my region might be offering powder coat services soon.
