Stripping powder off chrome?
« on: September 06, 2008, 07:44 AM »
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  :)

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

Thanks for the tips  :daumenhoch:
