Easiest way is to get a free photobucket account and upload your photos to it

Then if you click on any uploaded pics you will see 4 links appear to share them
Click on the 4th one (the one with the letters IMG in) and then just paste it into your post  :daumenhoch:

Any half decent paint stripper or even brake fluid will have that off without knackering the chrome fella  :daumenhoch:

Just leave it on for ages, and wipe down with a cloth rather than wire wool or a scraper (although if you use a placcy scraper it'll be fine).
