If your having them chromed you need to remove all pitting. Or the chrome wil look shite.

You can get a mig welder & weld in the pitts, it takes time, but is the best way
Then file them down, I should imagine forks won't be to hard to do.
You can sand but depends how deep they are

May have to bring a file home from work tomorrow and attack it with that first

sandpaper works well, wet and dry is class stuff as its verry fine, will take a while but its a winner
