Filling Pits in Aluminum in-house?

2004

Hello,

I have recently had some parts cast in aluminum. I would like to have some of them chromed, and (even though the parts were cast from Permanent Mold)there are minor pits in the surface. I was wondering if there was a way to fill the pits myself prior to sending them to the chrome shop... Is anyone aware of a cost effective way to do this?

Thanks!
