Front grill into chrome @Bushwhacker?

[dieselboy]

The black paint on my front grill has started to come off. I would like to put it all to chrome like Stevo's truck I bought had done. Any ideas what I should use to remove the black paint and not ruin the chrome underneath?

Doing that might be a problem as the chrome is chromed plastic, whatever you use to soften the paint might just bugger the chrome as well, best try out some stuff on a small patch out of sight, you could try nitromoors paint stripper, cellulose thinners, acetone, stuff like that but dont try rubbing the paint off with abrasives.

Thanks for the advice. I wont bother with the angle grinder then?
I've tried getting my cat to lick it as they have a rough / smooth texture

I will have a serious think and try something and post back! Thanks!

If it's chromed plastic then try some caustic soda on it - I've used it for cleaning paint off plastic models with no problem

Usual rules though - try it on an out of the way bit first !

What plastic models are those then Bob?

i use brake fluid to get the paint off old preloved retores

My kids Warhammer figures - they lost interest so I cleaned them up and offloaded them on eBlag

OK, just thought you were another model maker
