Thanks you guys.... I will definitely find a local chrome plater to remove the chrome and get it back to it's raw state. I most definitely do not want to mess with the hazardous chemicals. I also am not trying to make money by refinishing putters, I just want something to do, I like working with my hands and producing a final product that is respectable. I think I will pursue the cold blue finish or maybe some kind of torch finish. If you guys know any tips feel free to share them.... Thanks for all the help, I am learning a lot already!!!
