Save yourself some trouble and try to trade it off first. Chrome is a plating. You more or less have to peal it off unless you're gonna deal with a shop that has the right chemicals. I personally have not found anything over the counter that is good with the stuff.

The ULE bodies didn't come in chrome. They did come in nickle which is a similar process to chrome but not as hard and tends to tarnish easier. The ULE nickle bodies are nice.
