Removing the chrome from a 200 series Vokey wedge

[Leftygolfer]

Hello,

I have an old vokey 56 that is quite worn on the sole and face.  I have an oil can 60 and was thinking of removing the chrome completely.  I know I can send it away to have the wedge redone but was wanting to do it myself without removing the shaft.

Any ideas?  Paint remover might work but not sure.

Thanks in advance.

Chrome is a metal, paint remover has no chance. I have heard of soaking irons in coke (coca cola) to remove the chrome.

You need to send them to a plating shop, to have the chrome chemically removed. It's really not a "do it yourself" project.

I knew a gal once that could suck the chrome off a bumper hitch.  Too bad I lost her number!

I think I'm married to her!!

But seriously thanks for the feedback.  I was hoping it could be a do it yourself job.  It is nothing more than liking the oil can look and having an old worn wedge.

Just hit that 56 a couple million more times from the sand trap, desert landscape, cart path, etc... And you'll have that nice worn in look you desire. Pass this onto your gal as a reason to play more golf!! ;)

Potentially you could have it sandblasted off - but unless you are equipped for that yourself it would still involve taking it somewhere.  The chroming process ensures that it will be there a long time - better take it to a plating operation and have them do it.
