Chrome Removal

[Tyson A]

I just bought a 56 F100 for a shop truck and was looking for a way to remove the chrome off the wheels so I can paint them. I talked to my sand blaster and he says that blasting doesn't work well for chrome and I don't have a local chrome shop that is worth a crap to dip them. I don't really want to get to much money rolled up in this thing because I need to finish my 68 camaro first.
