I have an old Sequoia that has chrome over its paint. The color is rather dull (blue/gray) and i would like to expose some chrome....a little on the seat and chain strays and on the lower third of the fork.

some tips on masking and removal would be appreciated

I stripped off the paint from my Montello like the one above but chrome had been blasted before paint and was rough.
The one above was originally covered with a dark clear coat and sold as Black Chrome.
