You should purchase caswell's greaseless compounds kit. 180 grit greaseless would blast the chrome off. This takes hand sanding down to an absolute minimum. After the 240 you could go the the emery compounds and then to tripoli and white. If you want to take a chemical approach to removing the chrome you could use a battery charger and caswell's anodize and chrome remover. If I remember correctly you hook the chrome piece to the positive terminal, and place a swab covered anode on the negative end. You then place the swab in the solution (sodium hydroxide I believe) and then stroke the chrome plated piece. The chrome will then come off slowly.
