Strip Chrome From Alumium (Help Please)

(1/1)

kuwahero:
Just got hold of a pair of Chrome Araya 7x which I thought were steel for some reason

However, they appear to be aluminium. Most of the chrome is bubbled and peeling off so what do I do. Is this a chrome anodising which I can do the old oven pride/caustic method on or is it chrome plating like steel and I need to get chemically stripped.

Previous build have all been NOS parts. Thought I go for full on restoring this time.

But haven't really got a clue :uglystupid2: with processes, etc. Any advice gratefully received.

Take them to a chrome plater and they should be able to reverse the process very quickly and easily removing the chrome.

kuwahero:
Thanks Marty

Spoke to the platers nearest me the other week about doing a frame. He said as long as it's steel which suggests they don't do aluminium.

Do you think they would still be able to strip though. Can you suggest anyone I could send them too. I live in Livingston and the place I rang, appears to be the only on left in Scotland.

Cheers Marc

lazychubs:
