Well SC,I have 4 years plating experience and 10 sandblasting. In the plating shop we used a Muriatic acid tank for removing Chrome. Always left a dull black finish which was buffed off,then part was copper flashed,buffed again and into the chrome tank. Depending on size of part I'm not sure which method would be feasible for you. I've also blasted many Chrome parts,bumpers etc. Using a coarse grit sand at first,then a reblast with powdery sand for a very fine finish. I also used to oil coat the parts to delay oxidation. The customer would have to de-greaase part before flashing and plating. The right blaster shoukld be able to help you with your item. Good Luck, P.S. Chromic acid fumes are VERY toxic,beware, Fred
