Can anyone give me any advice on how to remove chrome plate, other than using acid? [S
If it's old chrome, you can use a coarse metal wire wheel on a high speed drill - depending on what it is that's chromed, I wouldn't suggest doing this on aluminum. You could sandblast it, sand it or have a chrome shop strip it.
you could use 180 all you have to put a tooth on the bumper . on bare steel i d.a it with 120/180 if clean steel .like i said in this first post that i step sand them then used etching primer .80 grit will strip chrome thats ok but if is in very good shape you just have to make it dull with a tooth . chrome on bumpers and trim is not like industrial hard chrome . brite chrome it can be sanded with fine paper you just have to run the sander at a very low speed as the paper grit gets broke down very fast. if you run to many rpms then your just rubbing it with dull paper with the etching primers there is a mechanical bond then theres a chemical bond older primers work on mechanical bond only... that was by sanding . i still sand stuff as i seen stuff fall off .all i am saying as i did paint work for many years i knew what i could make work . i seen stuff were guys got nuts on grinding /coarse paper and just took more time to get it back to paint180? wow ive just used 80g on a DA
Any advice out there for aging chrome. TIA
