Can you rub down chrome?

[GavinKent]

Hi

My chrome crank has some scuff marks.  I want to rub it down to get rid of them, and to hopefully take away the chrome shine, giving it more of a matt and dull worked metal look - can you do that, and if you can, what should I use?

Thanks

You can but you will probably still be doing it this time next year 

Joking aside you can flat it with 800/400's wet and dry paper and that should remove the shine and pitting , if its pretty smooth just use finer paper 1000/1200's wet and dry and that will take the sheen off.

Alternatively i would BLAST it    and then get it painted or powdered 

Just my opinions and i aint no expert so maybe wait for some of the Restoration experts on here to respond
