Re: STRIPPING CHROME (1972redcoupe)
I would consider replacement parts or finding someone who could acid bath this for you....I believe after an acid bath the part would still be pitted.
If you insist on doing it yourself the following website will be a start to explaining what is involved:

I'm not a chemist....but after reading this website, I think it would be easier to make crack....
Hope this helps

Re: STRIPPING CHROME (1972redcoupe)
My air cleaner assembly was totally chromed and had discolored and pitted..put my Sears sand blaster to work and blasted the chrome right off. Have you considered going this route :thumbs:
