Although I've not tried it myself, I've heard that Muggy Weld, which melts at a low temperature, does a good job and can save money if you have any skills and want to do the tedious work yourself. You would have to have the chrome professionally stripped down to the bare metal, then work on each pit individually. Tiny pits will probably not be a problem and can be hidden by the copper plating but larger ones would definitely need filling.

Personally I don't care for the jewel-like plating that the better shops do as the cars were never like that to begin with but that would be up to you. Factory plating even on luxury cars was never perfect.
