Removing Paint from Chrome

Stodgy:
Hello chaps

Whats the best way to strip paint from chrome? I need to refurb some part painted bars.

I presume Nitomors, but will it damage the chrome? Any tips?

Cheers
Dave

FuNMoNsTeR:
Nitromors will do the job nicely m8...it wont damage the chrome. wear a mask cos the fumes are pretty harsh. paint on an ample amount... wait 5 minutes or so until the paint bubbles and stops reacting....then work in some fresh nitromors with the end of the brush... leave again for 5 or so minutes until the reaction stops and then wipe away with old rags. If you are doing a whole frame then do it one tube at a time :daumenhoch:
 I recommend you use gloves too as that nitromors loves to burn ya skin :D

Stodgy:
Thanks Fella - top tips indeed!

You and fiola are now 'da man'

weston:
you can use any paint stripper but this will damage the laquer covering the chrome, depending on the paint this could have damaged it anyway, if your not too far from me i'll laquer it for you after you strip & polish the thing
