Molasses will eat rust, if there is rust under the chrome it will lift the chrome. If this is the case then it is a good thing. do the molasses, then nappy san , then pressure wash. I have been so impressed with the molasses bath I have located a IBC (1000L) container to form a new bath. If nothing else it will loosen up the paint . chrome etc to make it easy to get to the base metal.
If then they need a sand / soda blast, then it will be easy.
You should also be able to look at the bead area to see of it has been eaten away.
A light sand once dry should give you a clean base to work with.

I have been told, ( may be true or untrue) that VIC is the best place to get chrome done due to EPA laws in the other states.
