Chrome removal
 

So I have some old chrome wheels on my 64 that are pitted, scratched and in all over bad shape. I’ve tried a number of methods of restoring them but ultimately I think I want to get rid of the chrome. Unless anyone has a better method I was thinking of just taking my buffer with sanding pads or angle grinder with flapper discs and removing the chrome that way. What are your thoughts or suggestions. If I ruin the wheels I won’t loose any sleep. Curious to see what everyone thinks.

I would just say to make sure you use a proper respirator. You're going to be creating some really dangerous dust.

Check with a local chrome shop, they have a dip tank for removing old chrome.

Have access to a glass bead machine? Sand blast will be a bit rougher on the base material I'm thinking.
