Tamiya Metallic Editions

I have their MiG-15 that was all chromed when I got it.  I removed the plating by socking the parts in full strength Simple Green cleaner.  After soaking them for a couple days, I used an old toothbrush to remove any of the softened plating left.  Some have recommended oven cleaner too, but I've not tried that.

Straight Household Bleach will do the job too followed by the "old toothbrush". I think (I might be wrong) you can primer the parts and then paint as usual. Try it on a scrap of the sprue first to be sure. Hope this helps.

Windex, or diluted ammonia will do it too.

Silver- you need to just type everything in one post.
