Nitriding over hard chrome plating

Nitriding over hard chrome plating

Nitriding over hard chrome plating

(OP)
Greetings,
   I have a shaft of which a small area has been hard chrome plated.  I now wish to liquid nitride the remaining surface of the shaft.  I have been told by another engineer that nitriding will not affect the chrome plated layer, but I was hoping to get an opinion from someone with more experience with these processes.
   Is it acceptable to nitride a piece that is already partially chromed?  Can I assume that the chromed area will be unaffected?  Thanks!
