Got to a welder and get him/her (well you never know LOL) to re-shape and fill the crush marks with weld/brazing then get them plated or painted  :daumenhoch:

Chrome can be stripped using a caustic soda/water mix, and a 12v car battery.
The item to be stripped should be connected to the + lead, the - end in the solution.
Its best to agitate the solution whilst stripping.
The solution should go a urine !? colour.
Caustic soda is available from hardware shops.
Better results are acheived working on small areas at a time.

Just dont throw the waste down the drain, water authorities arent keen on chromium in water systems.
