Oh mighty one, do you know if anyone has ever been able to reapply the chromium to the housings after it's wore off or is it just impossible?

if you can slap it on once, you can slap it on again. The cost of removing it all then levelling it and then reapplying the coat would be more than a new one, hence no reman for the housings.

I agree with you. I've heard that in Japan Mazda will resurface side housings and use that nitriding process on it again.
