A little bit. Not much. Never done it, but it seems straightforward enough.

Yes. The only question is how much will it cost. You'll want to talk to a
chrome shop about this, but the process should be basically:
1) strip the existing chrome finish
2) repair the part (weld, grind, sand, etc.)
3) chrome plate the part
The repairs are the hardest part. Chrome shows every last little imperfection
and magnifies it. It's hard to get the part perfect enough.
