Nice work and looks good!
As FYI, if you have any pitting in the chrome, sandpaper works great. My chrome tips had a bit of pitting from previous owner neglect, and progressive grades of sandpaper worked great.
After a good wash and steel wool, I started off with some 400 grit sandpaer to work the metal down below the pitting. This took a little bit of elbow grease and some patience, but it worked well. Then I took some 600 grit to reduce the scratches from the 400, and then went to 1,000 grit. After the 1,000 I took a speed cone polisher and some rubbing compound and polished the tips to a nice, shiny chrome finish once again. Finished it off with some metal polish and then a coating of SiO2 and now they look like new again.
