My P32 functioned perfectly until I sent my slide in for a hard chrome job. Evidently you don't get the same slide back ... who knows where it's been.
I fired several hundred silver tips without a problem ... before I sent my slide in to Kel-Tec for chrome. Now I have several complete failures to eject for every 50 rounds ... slide forward and still in the chamber.
I did clean with Eezox. Perhaps I overdid it. Any thoughts on what to look for would be most appreciated.

It's always best to send the whole gun. You may end up doing that anyway.

your suspicions are correct. they do not chrome the parts you send them - they are replacements.
you may need to fluff & buff the chrome slide. i didn't need to on mine. i guess it may remove some of the chrome but the slide rails and hammer/slide interface should be lightly greased (see the "tec werks" lubrication guide) so there shouldn't be a rust concern if you take off some of the chrome doing this.
