Guys/Businesses who re-chrome usually can de-chrome also

Very very toxic process.
Take it to a local chrome shop, they will do it.

Where the music stinks, and they water the drinks, at the nudie bar.
Where the girlies dance in their underpants, at the nudie bar.
Where you see their butt, and their trap stays shut, at the nudie bar.
Where you can’t touch a breast, but you can cave in a chest, at the nudie bar.
Where you look at a thigh, and blacken an eye, at the nudie bar.
Where a buck’s enough to see their stuff, at the nudie bar.
Where the breasts may be fake but man do they shake, at the nudie bar.
Where you swear like a sailor, and wish you could nail her, at the nudie bar.

Re: Removing chrome plating
Having some Satanic BMX isn't gonna make you Ride any better...
Because Satan's not in a Bike, he's inside all of us. In here. In your Hearts....
He's what makes us not want to go to Work, or Exercise, or tell the Truth...
He's what makes us want to Party and have Sex with each other all night long...
He's that little voice in your mind that says "F-you" to the people you hate...
+1 to THAT
