prolly an acid bath would work, grind it off first and then acid bath it. thats the only way i can think of.
Buy it dinner and talk real nice to it. Or maybe get it drunk.

Removing Chrome Plating
Sodium hydroxide at 8-12 oz/gal (w/v) works well for electrostripping chromium from carbon steel substrates. The bath can be operated at ambient temperature or higher, at a current density of 0.25 - 1.0 amp/sq.in. The fumes evolved are toxic and must be evacuated and scrubbed. The bath starts out as a simple solution of caustic soda but acquires an increasing component of a hexavalent chromium compound as the metallic chromium is electrostripped from the workpieces. The spent solution is hazardous waste and must be properly disposed.

We have a chrome line, so I will ask Dorsey, the manager. I would say it will be quite a chore.
Sounds like it, I knew my first idea on this subject would not be a the best one, but I try.
i'm at college no access to acid baths-.- would a sand blaster work might be able to get someome to blast it...
No, sandblasting won't work.freightdriver said:
