My heat guard on my pipe started to peel , I want to take all the chrome off without hurting the tin underneath . Does anyone have any sugestions on how to do this?

For what purpose????

 

Unless you are willing to spend way more than the part is worth for getting it chemically stripped, just take a wire wheel to it and work it over.

 

POCPCJ is right. Removing the chrome chemically can be expensive. My two cents: Sand blast it off. Now that you are down to bare steel, what do you have in mind to revent rust? Re-Plate, Ceramic coat, Other?

 

was thinking of painting it leaving the name namvet in the design. Not sure yet but thought id try and see what it looked like.If i dont like it id just throw it away.

Sounds good.

 

not to bust your bubble or anything, but paint will last about 30 seconds on a hot pipe. if you think it looks bad with the chrome peeling, wait till the paint starts peeling.

if you want to do it right, get them ceramic coated.

 

I tried painting the pipes on my old Ironhead. High temp paint lasted maybe 2 months. It would do better to have them ceramic coated and, if you intend to keep it like that for a few years, it will save you money over having to repaint 3 - 4 times a year.

 

Grimm is right for normal spray paint. Maybe you are thinking of stuff like this: http://www.cacustomcoatings.com/flam...-coatings.html

I have not tied it butthey claim this stuff can take it..... I would need to see it.

 

IV never heard of ceramic coating , do you have to send the part out or something you can do yourself please someone give more info on this thanks.
