Hi Gary, Go to a chrome platers and get them to de-plate it. I use get things sandblasted but de-plating isn't a much work so costs less and damages the surface less. Then give the bare metal a rub down with wet n dry or the annodizier will just polish it anyway. Is it steel you want the chrome removing from though because you can't annodize it.....
