Removing chrome to reveal nickel - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

Chadd · #1 (**permalink**) 03-07-2007, 02:45 PM

I have a guitar bridge like this one:

It's chrome, but I would like it to be polished nickel to match the rest of the guitar's hardware.
I suspect the screws are steel, but other parts may be brass or pot metal.
How would you suggest I go about it?

And one other question: If I remove the chrome with muriatic acid, would the resulting nickel finish be shiny, or would it need polishing to make it bright? I'm not sure how I would polish all of those nooks and crannies.

For those of us gathering info, how was your problem solved?

The problem was solved by exchanging the chrome bridge for one with a nickel finish.
