all it is is just taking very rough sandpaper (hopefully with a sander) and sanding down the roughness, then going smoother, and smoother, and smoother until you get to 2000-2500 grit. then you use a metal polish to brighten things up. its VERY tedious, though, so be warned.

Would it affect it in anyway? Because you're making the layer a bit thinner.

Why not take it off, sand blast it then have it chromed. That sounds easier than doing it with sand paper, besides, with the odd shapes, you couldn't get the sand paper into all the crevises like a sand blaster can.
