I found two types of references. One dealing with mechanical removal (blasting) and others with the electro-chemical. Basically it seems you don't want to do the electro-chemical yourself unless you are set up to do chrome already. It's the same process in reverse.
I think electro-chemical will yield better results but then again for a small set of parts it may not matter.

Caswell sells chroming setups... the instruction manual they have would be a good start towards understanding the process. See:
