the powder coater should be able to provide you with a heat resistant tape, i believe made of fiberglass. I use 2 different ones, a white very flexible and a blue stiffer. http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=116&itemType=PRODUCT http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?itemID=755&itemType=PRODUCT

for economy, cover the bulk of chrome with aluminum foil (not sure how this translates overseas, I seem to remember that you have a different term for it, it is a metal cooking wrap) and tape the borders.
