Here is one example of fixing pitting using "Muggy Weld" to fix pot metal pitting before plating, done by Gary S:

The "weld" part of the name is misleading. I used quite a lot of Muggy Weld filling pitted chrome and even replacing lead fill in body parts, but it doesn't do the job of welding anything.
Here is a wiper bezel for my '56 Plymouth that I filled and replated. Lots of work, but I'm satisfied.
