Procedure for copper coating headlight bucket of antique cycle

I would like to put a copper finish or a thin copper plating on a headlight bucket of a motorcycle. ( I am attempting to make it look old). Is this a procedure that a "home" hobbyist should attempt? And if so, what would be the best way to do it on a limited budget? Can it be put over an existing chrome finish? Thank you in advance,
abe
