Well the spots on my chrome appear to be external, not internal. Thus I'd be
grinding them "off", not grinding the surrounding area down to match.
Make sense?

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?
