Adding .002 layer to cast iron?

I have a lathe bed that is perfect, .0001 except for right at the head stock in a 2" area right by the chuck it drops off about .002 so if I wanted to machine something right next to the chuck it would be off.

Is there anyway to build up the V ways in this small area? I dont want to take it anywhere I want to do it in place. Hard chrome? anodizing? I am using Moglice on the saddle but that only works if it .030 thick or more.

Thanks
Craig
