D-I-Y alternative to electroplating for motorcycle engine?

Are there any finishing processes for steel other than electroplating and paint that a do-it-yourselfer can apply successfully? Note: the parts I wish to protect are part of a motorcycle engine and are exposed to heat.

Polishing would be another option.
