I've got a frame that looks like it has had chrome plating removed.
The trouble is they didn't remove it all, there's bands of it left here & there.

I haven't tried sanding yet, I'm just worrying that the chrome plate might be harder than the tubing underneath and I'll just be sanding the tubing.
If I can sand it off then so much the better, I think I want it painted and don't want to have to pay for the plating being removed electrochemically.

The plating has to come off, as it gives a really rough surface at the moment. Thanks.
