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.

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.

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?
