Stripping nickel plated parts

I am a chemical manager...we have roughly 100,000 spark plug shells that have been nickel plated and scrapped. Is it possible to "strip" the plating from the shells and replate them?

It depends on what your substrate is. There are a couple of different solutions that will strip plating but they could damage the substrate.
