which kit to choose please

After cleaning up a steam fitting with 50 years of baked on paint I find that most of the parts are either brass, copper or bronze. However there are a few parts made of steel which I have now polished up with 800 emery paper.
The steel parts are a few brackets about 8" long plus a steel disc around 8" in diameter by half an inch thick (much like a brake disc).

I am just going to have the assembly as an ornament in future but rather than paint the steel parts again I was thinking of nickel plating them. Unless I coat them with oil they will soon rust in any event.
Just opions wanted please as to the best choice of finish – chrome would be out of keeping and zinc needs a rough surface (not after all my polishing).
Thanks very much
