Pics of my 2005 H2 before and after some de chroming

looks great, same color as mine. Not to mention I just installed a Gobi stealth rack last week and have dechromed mine also-too funny how similar ours are/will be.
Looks awesome so far, nice work!

Re: Pics of my 2005 H2 before and after some de chroming
FYI, if you have any plastic chrome parts- You can strip the chrome easily. Look in your phone book for a local hard chrome shop (non-decorative). The last tank they use will strip the chrome right off. Scuff up the surface, prime and paint.
Dont ask me how long....I dont know. When a different shop dechromed my mazzi hulks- they called me to say someone lost the hex bolts on the spokes. I know they were plastic and they just disintegrated in the solution. After I told them that, they agreed and said they were in the solution a long time. So there is some babysitting involved in the process.

Thanks. Love this color. Just tinted front 2windows and windshield and smoked my red brake lights Looks awesome. Im going to sand blast my rims, prime and powder coat along with my mirrors. Still waiting for my black fuel door. I couldnt decide between the stealth and ranger racks. I actually love the stealth and it was a hard decision to go with the ranger. I will post more pics once im completely done with mine. I will have no chrome whatsoever.

New pictures of my de chroming process. I just powdercoated my rims and put on my black gas door. I am currently getting my side view mirrors painted black and smoking all my light covers.
