So.....
I am a little unclear on this point. I under stand that the grinding will
thin the metal. But doesn't the chroming process add (layers of metals) to the
part, making it thicker (and heavier)?
Is the thinning from grinding still an issue even with new metal being
added?
(read the last line on my signature if you are un clear as to my mental
abilities!) ;-)

They are removing steel, a structural material, and adding copper, nickel
and chrome, a cosmetic coating. The amount of steel removed to get to the
bottom
of the pits is a lot thicker than the amount of copper, nickel, and chrome
you want to pay for. Good question though, in some applications, like
hydraulic cylinder rods, they will build them up with chrome and grind them
down to
size.
