Lovely. Please share who is doing the rechrome, your experiences and the prep you put in. Please, do not just say 'going for a rechrome' an 'out of my hat' a rechromed frame appears. Make it a thread. Hanging for involvement.
Wanted: Shimano Aero frame
Wanted: Tange Axeblade frame

Andy, the other main reason it’s being re chromed is to repair this little ding  :(
