op www.finishing.com vind ik een gelijkaardige vraag, met antwoord van een specialist:

Apr 22, 2002

I get a "maybe possible but we will not guarantee" answer from most chroming firms on following question. Is it possible to fill light rust pitted areas on a motorcycle petrol tank and have it rechromed. I heard brazing was possible but this will need to much heat to apply =warping. Is it possible to fill with lead tin or should I have it coppered before filling the pits with tin or with another material which can be applied without the risk of deforming the metal? Thanks in advance you for your reply.

Greetings,

Soldering would only compound the problem. If the pits are small, the standard procedure is to do a heavy copper plating and then "mush buff" to drive copper into the pit areas. Then the item is nickel-chrome plated. But this is not foolproof, especially if the pits are large, so it is understandable that a shop may not want to guarantee that it will work. But if it is a quality shop with experienced buffers, and the price you are paying allows mush buffing, I think the chances are very good that the plating job will meet with your satisfaction.
