if its chrome you can get it dipped this will strip and help a little then sand for a good key
etching primer will fill some of it then top coat /powder should fill the rest .or as superbikedan.  :daumenhoch:

Take it to the chromers and get them to dechrome it, this will also gt rid of the rust. Then fill and spray
