Well there's the technical way of dechroming which I think is more then what you want to do. You could send it to a chromer and they could de-chrome it; basically the same process as plating in reverse. Or you could buy a set up from Caswell and dechrome it yourself which I also think is more then you want ot do
OR you could sand it or sand blast it. Not really sand . I would try some of the fine glass. Harbor freight actually has it. I would try it on a small piece to make sure it is the finish you wnat.
These are some options anyway.
