MARK WARREN Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Hi All, I have a small map lamp from the 60's era that is a bit pitted. Any idea on how to remove chrome prior to polishing & re-chroming ? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECR Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Whoever is going to do the re chroming should be able to strip the unit for you (and probably do the polishing as well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicat Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Yes - whoever does the rechroming will strip it as part of the process. A stong acid is used (Ithink ) I rmeber sending some bike bits for rechroming some years ago not realising there was some ali bits - they disappeared. *mad* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMO Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 I think de-chroming is the opposite of chroming. Something to do with anodes and electricity. So it will be electrically stripped (I think). AMMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Yup, AMMO has it right. The chrome virtually jumps off......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibster. Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Sounds like it would be interesting to watch dechroming Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
