RE: touching up chrome?
I was afraid that was going to be the answer.. The chip is on the underside of a muffler. I might just clean it and put some silver paint on it. Just to keep the metal dry.

RE: touching up chrome?
I agree with the others in that chrome can't be fixed easily.
However, since it's on the underside of a muffler, you could try some of the "chrome" touch up paints available at auto stores. It probably won't work really well, but it might be worth a try.
I've used this paint on a couple of gas pumps that I've restored. It worked fairly well, just don't look too close.
I think it would be better than silver paint, imho. An easy thing to do until you decide to replace the muffler.
Good luck!

RE: touching up chrome?
The paint I have is actually a chrome paint for models. I have it on the plastic blanks that fit in the chrome control covers on the handle bars. Has held up pretty good so far.
