covering chrome

[Bendix]

so what's the best way to finish over chrome? just sand, prime, and paint? can you powdercoat over chrome? can it be stripped chemically?

what kinda a finish are you wanting put on it? if your gonna paint it, then just scuff up the surface real good then as long as you get a good primer it should paint fine

most chrome shops will remove the chrome for free, it leaves the nickel and you can prep and paint on that, or powder coat or what ever, you might even like the nickel finish

i've wondered if anyone did 'unchroming', how do they do that :?:

in simple terms, just reverse the electro-chemical process. Please don't make me explain plating any more than that. I'm too tired from shoveling over a foot of wet snow.

Sandblast it. It works good.

just sand with 80 grit and selfetching primer ready for paint
