Well, chrome is chrome, it was and is used due to it's extremely shiny nature. Saying that, unless it is badly tarnished or pitted, personally I would live with it. Not just that but getting parts rechromed, especially if they're mazac, is very difficult. The knob caps might be easier but you'd have to safely remove them etc, all in all, not an easy job.
