i know about acid dipping and reverse electrolosis or w/e the fuck it is but i got my new wheels and the fronts are chromed, im going to powder coat them. sandblasting doesnt work on chrome and i might just have to take it to a local place to get acid dipped. but im looking for a very cheap or free solution to getting the chrome off my wheels.

7 oz/gal NaOH, 9 oz/gal Na2CO3. Use at room temperature, 6 V, with a steel cathode (make the workpiece to be stripped the anode).

what is the wheel material?

hahah theres nothing wrong with making a crazy science lab in your garage...

I would just take it to a company, and have them do it all, I can imagine that would make the best outcome for the buck and your effort.

If you want to strip chrome off plastic, soak it in bleach. It works surprisingly well without melting the plastic like other solvents.

hey dr cody, chillout.

leave chrome stripping to the pros. if you cant afford it, dont do it. stripping chrome is no easy task.

Not sure about wheels, but there's this one chick... I know she could take care of your bumpers.
