Is the aluminum trim nickel plated? 140-160

I'm specifically looking at a couple of aluminum trim pieces on the rear quarter windows. I'm not sure if the coating is anodizing because it shines to a mirror finish when cleaned up (except where I wore it through with sandpaper).

I bought a chemical (electroless) nickel plating kit to see how close to the stock look I can get it.
