I had a GT Pro last year, the chrome was ok, but peeling in places. I spoke to SBD and he told me that he could powder over the chrome, but as it was peeling, there was a chance that this may continue, and peel off the powder, so he recommended that I strip the chrome, which I did.

Thanks mate What sort of price you get for de chroming?I sent it to Niphos in Crewe, the did it for £60, then Dan did the absolute business on it. I was a bit unsure about paying that much to strip it, but Dan reassured me by telling me that's what sort of price the guy he used to use charged.

Found local company near me in poole dorset that will strip for £35 Going to take frame forks and parts in next week to see how much they would do to strip and potentially re chrome.. Will keep thread updated and if good price get some smaller sample bits chromed and see what they turn out like
Once I receive the frame forks and parts I will take some pictures then after pictures depending on whether I just get it stripped or stripped and rechromed..
You can powder straight over chrome no worries, i've done it a couple of times. However, if you don't key the chrome the powder will come off pretty easy.I didn't key the chrome on this because it had the original chrome and was in great condition so i wanted the option of stripping and going back to that if i wanted.
