The telescopic damper fork tubes on my motorcycle have specks of rusted spots (small). Can those be fixed with brush plating? I am not worried about cosmetics at all. In fact, I am not even trying to get the surface totally smooth. If I can plate it enough so that there is no rough edges where the chrome has rusted away, I'll be happy. All I want is that it won't tear the rubber fork seal and cause the fork oil to leak.

I think the tube is hard chrome over some strong metal, probably steel.

Also, if there some pits on the tube that look deeper than just mere rust, I suppose brush plating is not going to fill it up?

Any hints welcomed. Thanks!
