So I have this COB snare shell. The chrome, like most that aren't $$$, shows scratches and stuff. The polishing guy I take pedals to said there's really nothing to do but strip it and it re-chromed... which would stupid expensing.
So. Has anyone ever tried presentiments on these shells? Sanding them with some patterns, wet sanding to a dull seen, or anything? Bead blasting, I was told, could start to blow flakes of chrome off it.
On the other hand, getting all the chrome off could look pretty cool....
Hmmmm
