De-Chrome

I have some z900a4 engine cases that have been chromed in the past :(
Have spoken to my chroming people and they have advised that it is a very simple process to remove.
Has anyone ever gone down this route ?
I am particularly interested as to what finish I will be left with as a base for polishing ?
Thanks

I am a former metalurgical chemist and plater, if they de-chrome them for you it will be fine to polish them, i done my own set a few years ago.

Got some back yesterday. Dirty grey finnish on most,couple of bits returned still with copper plate ?
I'll vapour blast then polish.
