What is the best or easiest way to strip chrome all the way off of something?

Thank you,
Trevor

Only way I know is to sandblast it. I bet there is some type of chemical stripping process available. Tried google?

Glass bead blasting. This will leave a soft uniform finish suitable for polishing, powdercoating or re-chrome. And chemical that can strip chrome will also eat the metal under it and using sand to blast it will leave it rough and pitted.
