Hey all,
Sorry if this is a question that has been asked thousands of times before (I did search to little direct avail). If I have a frame that is largely chrome with some painted areas of the tubing, will I be able to powdercoat it one color? For example, is it possible to strip or blast off the chrome finish so that it will all come out one color, or is the powdercoating over the chromed area going to come out different because of what's under it? If it helps, the frame I am considering is Reynolds 631 steel.
