I haven't heard anyone offer this one,bu8t I'll throw it out. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
I don' know,how big your part is,but if it's not to big,your answer is on the shelf at your local grocery store (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) At about a dollar and a half a bottle,get yourself some blue Lysol toilet bowl cleaner. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Read the label,it IS hydrochloric acid. I have watched it strip chrome,rust,anything on a metal surface.It'll usually take an overnight soaking,but it will work. Your metal will come out as clean as a new nickel.The only downside is that the material almost always flash-rusts as soon as you remove it from the solution.You gotta treat it very soon.

Thanks for all the suggestions and warnings. I have come to the conclusion that any method that dissolves the chrome will leave me with a solution of dissolved chromium. I don't want to be anywhere near that. (Ever seen Erin Brockovich?)
