When the metal is Nickel, it is nickel plating. For zinc it is zinc Plating. All are different types of Electroplating.
Your silencer should be Chrome/Nickel plated. Good chrome platers can be found in Varanasi/Benaras. I am yet to come across a Chrome plater - Industrial standard in Kolkata.
The bolts, nuts and axles should be zinc plated unless you want them to look like the silencer too - you can opt for Chrome plating them.
