I think so, but, that's just my opinion. Another option is to braze or
silver solder to fill the pits. I'd check with my plater first to make sure
they
are comfortable plating over that type of repair. The reason they like to grind
out the pits is that it is fast and cheap, not because it's the best thing
to do to classic car parts.

I was planning to grind the pits off myself with a Dremel. Bad idea?
