You're talking big bucks. Yes you would have to remove the fork. Then you would have to bring it or more likely send it somewhere where they do bicycle chroming. They would strip the old chrome off, polish the base metal and then rechrome it. Then if you only want the crown exposed you'd have to have it repainted. Figure maybe $200-300 from a place like cyclart.com. It would be cheaper to buy a new fork unless you have a unique style of fork that isn't easily replaced. Sorry, I don't know anything about Ziliolis.
