Pitting and Rust

I've seen a few references to getting pitting and rusted Magic Chef parts fixed. What kind of place do you take theses peices to have them fixed?

Rusty stove parts

I just took a few pieces to a local chrome shop and because the chrome is so thin (and also the meta)l, they only one they would try to rechrome ($75 thank you very much) was the piece around the three burners (I have a 56 Overlander). The piece around the control knobs was too badly rusted that I am having that ceramic coated (which is a type of paint which is baked on). The inside of the stove had to be thoroughly cleaned and then painted with a heat resistant paint.
Good luck... its too bad that the Magic Chef's at least for the year they were installed in my unit were so poorly constructed.... maybe stainless would have been too expensive...
