I've also heard of skops chroming the part and then spraying a mix of clear coat and black over the part to give it a similar look. Never seen it though.

Here are a few ways/means of getting a black chrome look:
Motostorm Hyperblack paint: http://www.motostorm.com/gpage.html2.html
Alsa Black tinted candy clearcoat over regular chrome or polished metal:
http://www.alsacorp.com/products/kits_2/C4C_Black.htm
Permastar Black Chrome: http://www.americanpowdercoating.com/samples.htm
These are just a few. Real black chrome is plated on the same way regular chrome is, they just change the bath solution somewhat by adding chromium oxide and barium oxide. Shops that can do it are few and far between so the cost is usually a bit higher than standard chrome.
