Rechroming a chrome fork

I picked up a Colnago Pista, about 12 - 15 years old. The front fork is fully chromed and has some spots that have rusted through the chrome layer and into the nickel, due to sweat and salt air (raced at the Fort Lauderdale velodrome).

I used some aluminum foil and water to clean up the fork, which worked great...but I do have some spots that are beyond cleaning.

Can someone recommend a good shop for rechroming? I'd prefer to work with a shop that has experience with bike parts and won't chrome the steerer tube by accident...

Tips/suggestions/etc appreciated.

Pictures of the bike, and a Master Ti that I picked up at the same time, are available through this post.

Thanks,

Lee
