well here is how it was explained to me. a layer nickle plating is actually required for chroming. there's a layer of nickle plating underneath chrome. the issue is. on the mpp i have where the plating is starting to come off there should be two different visible layers before the brass tubing is visible as chrome & nickle have a different color shine to it. chrome on top then nickle underneath then brass tubing. chrome is spose to have a kind of yellowish hue to it. while nickle has more of a blueish hue.. you would have to see the two side by side to really tell the difference. on the tube i have it looks to only be one layer before the brass. & if that is the case it should be nickle.
