There is bound to be a good cheap metal polisher in your neighbourhood!! I'm in NZ and there are heaps of places, I go to a dude that has bug thumbs like toes from polishing all day long!
He did a set of rims, cranks, chainring, stem and post for a measily $80NZ, which is fuck all. Saves time, hassle, and fuck ups fall back on him :) but he never fucks up! heres a pic of the bike when first finished all parts polished by him. Front rim looks white but just angle, everything is still like a mirror, just needs a clean now and then with some window cleaner...
I did once do the above method and changed an Ano Gold nitto technomic to polisshed silver, but for all the time would choose a polisher anyday!
