Stripping the chrome is pretty cheap...it's stripping the nickel that's expensive. You can strip the chrome and then bead blast the nickel and prime with etching primer. I have done that with a lot of parts. And the bonus is the nickel gives rust protection.

Was quoted $65.00 to remove chrome from aluminum primary by chrome shop.
