    Beautiful motor.  It would be best to have the chrome pieces stripped and re-chromed.   If it were mine, I would find a reliable chrome plating shop and schedule a time when you can take it to them and have the work done while you wait.   Those pieces are too hard to come by and I wouldn’t let them out of my sight.  The chrome pieces are all bright finish except for the lower section of the front face plate below the Seahorse emblem is a satin finish.
