stripping chrome from auto parts

Posted by admin on August 28th, 2010 at 02:40pm

i have several cars in the process of restoration and have come to the replating/chrome stage which i have no experience in. at this point all i know for sure is that it is a very expensive procedure and my resources are limited.
what i thinking of doing is to strip the pieces an do a lot of the prep work, filling, buffing etc. and then have plating shop do the rest.
just figuring that if i can take some of the labor intensive work out of the process maybe i could make it all a little more affordable.

does anyone have any advice and or how to go about removing old chrome/nickle etc.
the various parts are off of vintage corvettes (1957, 60, 62) some steel other parts of pot metal.
thanks
