Thread: Best way to remove chrome???

Tweet

You do not have to remove the chrome to have them powdercoated. They will be bead blasted first which will give them a good surface for which the powder will stick to.
I have a buddy who has a powder business and have had stuff that was chrome that he powdered. My parts looked great and the chrome did not have to be removed.

I agree w/sunset - take them to your powder guy and see what he says about the chrome. He's going to media blast them to give the surface some tooth anyway, so the work you do to remove rust, etc may be wasted effort. Let the guy who does the process tell you what they need, then decide who best can prepare. It'll probably be him.
