safcdixon Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Hi, what is the best diy way too remove the chrome plating from my alloy wheels, I tried yesterday with a wire wheel on my angle grinder but it barely took the shine off, so what way have you removed chrome/paint from your alloys? Thanks marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 You won't get it all off by hand. Best was is sandblasting. Will only cost you 20 quid a wheel ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I think you'll need to have them stripped at a chromers, i doubt sand blasting will remove any thats still fixed to the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 you need to put a reverse charge through it for it to work. there might be other stuff on the market which might work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
