Title: Removing chrome
Post by: Swivel on December 09, 2007, 02:31 PM

Want to save some cash and do it myself, but how? Has anyone successfully removed chrome themselves? I heard that you can submerge in coca-cola and it'll start removing it but I think that is bollox...  :shocked: let me know....  ;)
