Cleaning chrome
Posted by Bocks Suv on Thursday, March 15, 2012 9:52 PM

I got a Testors Lysander 1/48, but was surpised to see little dots of the early stages of corrosion all over the super shiney ans dulled chromed parts. I could live with it, maybe even paint some sections to help the chrome pop and not look like a big silver blob. But I'd like to give cleaning it a shot. I need to be gentle with chemicals and cleaners and esp with any cloths or sponges. I'd be gld to test any workable ideas on a small, less visible section. help!

Hello Rocks.

Forgive me if I misunderstand your question, but if you're looking at how to remove chrome you can just soak it in bleach for about 30 minutes and it will come right off.  I've used Testors MM Enamel Chrome on my airliners, which I feel looks more realistic then pre-chromed parts in kits.
