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?
