Removing Chrome Plate

Anything with ammonia will work.

Castrol Super Clean works great and is biodegradable. Takes off paint and chrome pretty quickly. It's also reusable. I ended up just putting a rubbermaid tub on the porch and rotate poor paint jobs and chrome out as needed. Just make sure you use gloves.

i just paint over mine

Thanks for the responses. I'm building Revell's new Viper SRT-10 and the chrome parts just won't look right.

I use Westly's Bleche White whitewall tire cleaner. You can get it at the local NAPA in a gallon jug... best part is you can reuse it as long as you filter it out. It's only like $5 per gallon,. too

I allways use household cleaner (with amonia) - the white stuff you clean the bath with! Over here, we have a "normal" cream one and a gel one - I founs a mix between the two works a charm. You mix them, throw you piece in there (I leave it in overnight), take it out, wash off the cleaner and let dry.

No problem!

The other thing you can use is Mr Muscle oven cleaner. Put the items into a plastic bag squirt some oven cleaner in and leave for 20-30 minutes, then wash off with warm soapy water.

Bleach - nice and clean and works every time, every household has some and you don't have to use special containers - just pour into a bowl and wash out afterwards.

I tried DOT3 brake fluid recently and it worked OK. Didnt peel off easy peasy - needed a bit of scraping but it worked. The brake fluid was old though.

I have had pretty good luck with bleach. Takes the chrome off right in front of your eyes. Only once so far has it not worked and that was on a 30 year old kit part, guess teh chrome was pretty happy being on it at that point.

I've found Easy Off the easiest (Blue Can ) It will strip enamel paints, chrome and also will not harm most clear parts as other products may do. Get a container with a cover, place parts in to be stripped, spray away from yourself ( fumes burn ) cover and leave sit , about 2 hrs. and the chome will peel off. Use rubber gloves to handle parts and clean in warm soapy water with a small tooth brush. Don't reuse. Play safe and Happy Modeling.
