The bottle door opener was/is cast and was painted (as far as I know) but they do look but better chromed on a restored machine in my opinion.  I just sandblast mine and have them chromed.

The bottle opening door is a combination of things but mostly plastic.  Easy to find parts if yours is missing or broken and some parts are reproduced.

Keep asking questions as you have them and pictures always help.
