Many of the cast engine bits are normally polished and a protective coat of clear is applied.
Like: http://www.kbs-coatings.com/diamondfinish-clearcoat.html

I heard that chroming shops might slowly disappear due to regulation of the materials/chemicals needed.

It happened here. There are still chroming shops, but less of them, mainly the most expensive ones.

Can you even see much of the water pump once the cam belt covers and water pump pulley are installed and the engine mounted into a 1200? If anything the thermostat housing and alternator would be the most visible parts in that area.
