They usually bead blast parts to be powder coated, they know how to deal with the chrome
Most powder coaters won't touch chrome. It has to be removed first. It's an extremely caustic process (has nide in it) and requires the right equipment, licensing, etc., and costs big bucks.
I think a high speed wire wheel on a bench type grinder would make short work of any chrome. At least get it to the point where powder coating would easily stick.

One of the larger powder coating businesses in my area claimed it was not necessary to prep chrome for painting, other than a good cleaning, of course . In spite of that advice, I used a 3M scuff pad but you could hardly tell it scratched the surface much at all. The high temp flat black paint that I used has held up very well. If I ever do get a scratch, I can easily re-spray over it.
