situation: there is paint painted over a piece of chrome.
problem: how do i remove the paint without damaging the chrome?


if i use paint remover, wat do i use to scrape of the paint after it swells? 'so that the chrome isn't damaged?

[Goolie]

if it really is "chrome" u can probably use a sharp knife to scrape off the paint. if its plastic with some "chrome coating" then maybe thinners.

if it really is chrome a heat gun will bubble the paint easily and not damage the chrome

[lastminuteaudio]

if is chromed plastic, the heat gun, thinners & paint remover will all melt the plastic.(i can't help u here)
if its chromed metal, paint remover an pressure wash it off after 10 mins of application...

i need some advice here to...so if i use paint remover on my grill will my grill melt??Its chrome but painted

[moti]

well i use paint remover in a plastic container already and it didn't melt.

best bet will be to try it on a small surface first (like one drop on the painted surface)
if it works and after washing it off there is no damage to the grill then you can (i suppose) continue using the paint remover. Trinity has a paint remover that works well and you can get in any hardware (i used it when i was stripping all the paint from my car engine bay) but it does burn your skin and a latex gloves will not work.

try using paint stripper its the gel type, just apply it and wait 10 minutes then take a damp cloth and just wipe off the paint, i did it on some rims and it work real good.

thx for all the responses. i got off the paint but th finish lookin kinda dull, tried autosol but still dullish. another question how effective are those bomb spray(the chrome ones) on plastic materials?

[ivar]

before using chrome paint on a surface(plastic) , is it recommended to base coat it with anything? or even base it with white paint?

[droppa]

i u want to re-paint it with chrome spray, its better u go and chrome plate it by trinity chrome in macoya...

the finish is much better, tougher and glossier than any bomb spray...
