Default Re: Black finish over chrome on golf club

Thanks for all the input. The clubs that I have are expensive custom clubs forged in Japan at the famous (at least to golf club aficionados) Miura forging house in Himeji City Japan. They are forged from mild steel to precise specs and are highly coveted clubs. The big manufactures like Titleist and TaylorMade send their prototype club designs to Miura to be forged for their PGA Tour players. The Tour players do not play with the Chinese mass produced clubs that are sold to the general public.

Anyway, I love these clubs except for the fact that they have a polished chrome finish. So I am just looking for a way to cut down on the glare and I have always liked the look of a gunmetal or black oxide finish.

What if I just stripped the chrome and left the nickel? Would it still have the polished chrome look to it? Would it rust? I wouldn't mind a controlled rust. What is the best way to strip the chrome?
