Anybody have any tips? thanks KevinW Jan 25th, 07, 01:48 PM sandblasting is what I have heard to remove chrome. Rechroming pot metal is a VERY tricky process! bl1work Jan 25th, 07, 03:39 PM Sandblasting is what i tried here at work, but with very limited results, basically just dulls it. I probably need to go hit up the local blasting shop for some more power then... Kev 68 Jan 25th, 07, 05:43 PM Take it to a chrome shop. They will strip it fairly cheap. They us mercuric acid.
