Author Topic: Stripping powder off chrome? (Read 704 times)

Wondered if any of you have had experience of stripping powder off chrome - I have these Haro bars, I'd like to remove the powder so that they are all chrome. Is this possible with out knackering the chrome underneath? If so what do I use to limit the damage.

Thanks everso

are you sure thats not paint? try some thinners. if it is powder then gasket remover will do the job

Good point - I'd assumed it was powder, but could be paint...I'll have another look at them.

Thanks for the tips

if they are in original finish i am sure it's paint.

when i get back to work on monday i'll check out the stripper i use,

nitromors is ok but no guts to it, my gel strip is the don, it will break any paint system,

will let you all know
