De-Chroming ?

Never seen a chromed aluminium frame before, stick a pic up. ???

Gaylord:
I will try and get some pics up as soon as I work out how to do that  :buck2:

And Glynnyboy  your right there is nickel plating underneath the chrome

And if the process to remove it won't harm the frame then I think I will go for that

So I could have a polished finish to the frame

 

Gaylord:
Here's a few pics of the flaking chrome frame

Bob_Acid:
First time i've seen a chrome one of them, i wonder if it's factory?  ???

bmxr:
You could mirror polish the exposed alu to get a similar finish as the remaining chrome.

Chromed alu never has the same mirror finish as plated 4130; if it looks shit then get it stripped............or if you're getting it powder coated, just sand the chrome to get a key, then apply the powder/paint.  It'll save you the ball-ache of a trip to the de-chromers
