Dennis, TIG or oxy / acetelene, preferably TIG. it is sensible to take the guard to the chromers and get them to strip the chrome for you before the repair is done. Then you can polish it out and take it back for re-plating again. Just a thought, could it be cheaper to buy a new one???? Chrome is not cheap............ unless you know a man!
