+1 for Apis. If its chrome I'd send it to an expert to remove. If its nickel I'd remove it myself. If its been buffed so badly that it looks like a smooth bar of soap I might bead blast but you might remove even more detail. Might be better to leave that bar of soap plated and just shoot it. Removing plating is a hard decision. My take is like a doctor's should be: "Do no harm to the patient". But thats just me.
