Rather than blasting with a "softer" media (which still
might damage chrome) you might want to use a chemical stripper. Of course, the reason it's painted like this could be because the chrome is bad, you'll know once you start stripping it. Usually paint sticks so poorly to chrome that chemical stripping is fairly easy and quick on a fully chromed frame.
