Yes, that will remove chrome alright. The best media for removing chrome prior to polishing would be glass beads, because they won't gouge the part. However, glass beads are expensive, and if you don't have a reclaim blaster you will be spending quite a bit of money. You can use regular blasting sand, but you will have to spend more time buffing the metal. You do run a risk of warping the metal. But that shouldn't be much of a problem with the chrome because you will be clipping it back down anyway.
