flaking chrome on frame
I've got flaking chrome on the inside of my old Voyageur's stays; any recommendations as to how to approach this? I first need to clean a little around the chrome flake (it looks like it rusted a slight bit) but I'm not sure what to do afterwards.
Should I just tape up the area around the flaking chrome and paint over that? Remove the chrome completely? Or is there any shop that can actually reapply chrome to a specific area?
Thanks

Oxalic to remove rust, then apply a healthy amount of car wax to protect it.
