Took my F&F to get powder coated white and they said they are not sure they can remove the chrome.

bury it in soft peat and leave the worms a tasty treat.


i think chromers can remove it, or have it blasted, but to be honest a decent powdercoaters should not be worried aboot a bit of chrome.

rulers powdercoter will powdercoat over dogshit and make it come out squeaky clean.

powder coat goes over chrome fine

just degrease it and flat any rough spots

powder goes over all.
