You can reverse the chroming process by immersing the chromed item in a medium strength solution of muriatic acid and clipping one battery charger lead to the item and the other to the side of a metal container . If I remember , you want the anode to be the vessel and the cathode the item . I used to do this to strip plating off of various items . Go easy on low amps and test it first , it's been a LONG time .
