weres superbike dan when ya need him

MartyC:
To get a really good finish you might want to take it along to chrome platers and have them remove the chrome for you.  I don't think it would be that expensive and would certainly give you an excellent base for a powder coat over the top.  If not, you will need to rub down the flakey bits and get a very smooth transition from bare metal to chrome otherwise you will see it under the powder coat.

superbikedan:
when you say come away,  can you peel it of,  if so it's no good :(

powder over chrome is fine as long as its surface rust  and no peeling

the only way to get the job right is heavy sandblast or having the chrome reversed ;)

mine cost £15 to have chrome removed but took 4 weeks
