Depends on what your removing it from..my experience is to take it to a plating shop, they will do it, without ruining what you are doing. If it aluminum, you could glass bead it, but then you would need to polish it smooth again...or ???

I think you need to use a chrome-plateing shop, or a bumper re-chrome shop, to have it chemically removed. It might depend on the part.
