Hello,

Has anyone got bike parts chrome plated or powder coated before? I need one frame stripped of paint for chrome plate and another powdercoated, do you guys save money by using paint stripper or DIY sandblast? The chrome platers told me I need to get rid of the paint before I bring it to them.

Dunno about chromers, but I often got frame powder coated and they never had an issue with the existing paint/chrome/powdercoat that it already had.

Whenever I get a frame powdercoated I just let the powdercoater strip it and prep the frame themselves.......isn't that what you're paying them for?

Just use a combo of stripper and sanding on the frame getting chrome plating but powdercoating should be fine. They do have sandblasters.
