Yeah That helps thanks, I have some chrome parts that are in perfect condition that would probably powder coat well but for the parts that have some chips it would probably be best to get the chrome off. Does anybody know what methods or who strips chromeNot resomended by most but I have done it with great results. I took a bunch of chromed Harley parts and powder coated them. I had a problem with one piece because the base plating had an air pocket in it and it expanded causing a bubble. It looks real cool when you do the candy colors over the chrome. Makes it look anodized.
Hope that helps
Sure does until if chips. Chrome is not the best primer for PC or paint. You can sandblast chrome first and PC will stick forever.It looks real cool when you do the candy colors over the chrome. Makes it look anodized.
Thanks for the help. So you recommend that I find somebody to chemically strip the chrome? Do you know any companiesSure does until if chips. Chrome is not the best primer for PC or paint.

Don't waste your time trying to strip the chrome. The best way to get it done is exactly the way the chrome guy is going to do it-- he's going to dip the part in a chrome stripping tank. If the chrome is good, sand blasting, etc is a major wasted effort, a chroming is a electro-chemical bond process and wicked chemicals is the only good way to remove, in my experience.
I agree that it is cool until it chips. I did the primary cover and the timing covers for my Harley. It has been 2 years and have not had a problem. But like I said not recommended by most. I was just telling about my experience with powder coating.Sure does until if chips. Chrome is not the best primer for PC or paint.
