Hello all!  I would like to know some things about chroming
steel.  I have a bicycle that I would like to restore, and
the forks are chromed.  Unfortunately, the finish has been scratched
in several places, and areas are starting to rust.  I am wondering
if first:  do I have to remove the old finish to get it rechromed?
and second:  does chroming weaken the underlying steel?  Also,
could someone explain the process?
many thanks.
