Can this process be done at home or is it in the realm of a special plating company? I’m referring to the gold looking fuel injector feed lines.

gold spray paint? C3-PO? 😆

yellow zinc or yellow chromate
i believe there is an electroplating procedure you can achieve at home
 
if it aint gold plating then it's probably zinc or cadmium plating


could be done at home with electrolysis
 
So something similiar to anodizing?
 
Pretty sure cadmium plating is not feasible to do at home due to the toxic nature of the process. Zinc, nickel and copper among others are easily done at home. Electroplating is a different process from anodizing.
