Default Powdercoat removal

Alright, there are these bars that look SIIIIIICK, and I would love to get a set for my bike... Problem is, my bike is decked out in chrome, and the company that makes these bars, only makes them in black powder coat.

How hard is it to remove powder coating? Or should I just get some other not as bad *** bars in chrome.....

dude, If I tried to have someone do something like that here, they might actually require my first born for payment... That is why I do everything myself.
In Hawaii, they do half *** work for 10 times the price of everywhere else.
