You may try to have them sprayed with chrome paint. First they need a
gentle bead blast to get rid of the decay, then prime, fill, sand, fill
again, sand again, prime again a.i. and have the chrome paint applied
followed by a clear coat.
I never believed before this could work but I have seen irreplaceable
items come back to life this way and they look fabulous. You cannot
distinguish them from real chrome except for the feel. Chromed parts are
cold to the touch, these chrome painted items feel warm to the touch
like powder coated items.
