i donno if it matters as far as i know everything comes off then nickel then chrome seen a ff he chromed he brought me in to see the finish it was the nuts i know he can strip chrome cause there was a harley d guy picking and dropin off some stuff and he collected some stuff had been stripped bare he said they shouldnt have been chrome in the first place looked real clean to me , i reckon he can do whatever you want and tell you what prep you need to to if any , the only thing he did say was die cas stuff could come out pitted due to the material , its guarenteed for a year as well

yeah mate all part of the service mine had 2 coats of paint, rusty bits and scratches in the metal and he said nah dont worry about that they came out absolutley brand new looking better even , all the knurls were really well defined and stuff id say your best bet is phone him up tell him what you got and what you want and he will tell you what needs doing
