- thanks for all the advice and suggestions.
ive been doing alot of reading online and talked to a couple powder coaters.
this is what ive found so far.
1. the only way to properly remove chrome is to have a chrome shop reverse the chroming process.
i was reading the can of SEMs adhesion promoter and it says for use when painting glass or chrome.
so thats where im at.
not sure i know any more then i did before.
#1 is the winner.
I hooked the rust remover bucket up in reverse, that's...
Negative to the electrodes around the perimeter
Positive to the hanging part
This setup makes the hanging part the "sacrificial" metal
Used the same wash soda soution that removes/replaces rust
After 3 hrs in the bath, the chrome has pretty much gone away.
I wire brushed it & there were little dots of plating still holding on but the rest was down to the brass or bronze base metal.
I threw it back in to see what happens. Will post up results tommorrow.
I'm thinking this is the way to go.
I have heard that the solution may be a little nasty (chemically) because of the chrome.
THAT I dont know
Let me know if you want me to do something else to give you a comfort factor
