stripping chrome

(1/5) > >>

wildon:
Picked up my stuff from the chromers today.  I asked them to polish a couple of stems for me and when i got there they had been chromed... was quite happy about it till i got them home and found out they also chromed the shafts and now they wont fit inside my forks  :crazy2:
Thing is i've been back and forward to the fookin chromers enough times in the past 6 weeks and i really dont wanna go back.
Is there anything i can do to remove the chrome from the shaft or have i really been shafted and do i have to take another trip back?  ???

Sand it back, emery paper, wet and dry, scotchbrite.

brummie:
terry take em back mate, you will be sanding for days mate  :LolLolLolLol: you,ve had a proper mare with that chromer dude ???

chrome is a bugger to get off as its eletroplated on and needs electro removing as well i think :-\

meticulous:
