How do you remove old chrome plate?
By using a weak solution of muriatic acid and a lead sheet, you can reverse plate the chrome off. Because chrome plate is a very thin layer, the chrome is stripped very quickly. You can also buff the chrome off with an abrasive compound, such as emery.
You can also use our Anodize & Chrome Stripper.
