Posted August 15, 201114 yr guys various parts of my bike are now lookin the worse for wear, mainly the plastic chrome stuff is peeling badly. is there anyway to just get rid of this and paint the affected areas. all my "real chrome" is okay, its the stuff thats on plastic panels. thanks for any advice guys.
August 15, 201114 yr If you're painting over it - Genklene or Nitro Mors on the plasti-chrome to strip it, scrub it down and rinse the stuff off (for God's sake, wear rubber gloves), then paint as desired. That's what I'd do. Probably quite dangerous, given the chemicals you're working with, so take all precautions.
August 15, 201114 yr Author was thinking off using that but, 1. was worried it might eat into the plastic, and 2,. would it lift the chrome that has not started to peel yet. i need to get all the plastic chrome off. yes, all the chrome off and lots and lots of matt black paint.lol.
August 16, 201114 yr I had similar plans, but have not tried it yet myself. I know others have done it, but have not seen the results up close. Perhaps a milder paint-stripper?
