Don, I'd really like to remove it if possible.
Chuck, I'll give the Draino 24 hours, if it doesn't work I'll get regular ammonia and give that a try. So far 4 hours hasn't done anything. Usually Easy-Off works, but not this time.

Rather than removing it, you can also prime and paint over it.

Try using ammonia. Windex is a mild solution of ammonia- submerge the parts in it and leave them sit until the chrome dissolves, it may take overnight. You can also make a bit stronger solution using water and ammonia. This has always worked for me, although I have never tried it on an Airfix chrome part.
Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...
I recently got an Airfix 1/12 scale Bentley Blower off of EBay ( to make a poorman's Pocher, which I never could afford ((justify)) ). The kit was made in 2011 and the Chrome has to go. I've soaked it in Clorox for a day, Super Clean degreaser for a day and Easy-Off for 2 days and nothing happens. Now it's soaking in Draino so far nothing. I haven't use Brake fluid yet because I've read it can effect the plastic somewhat. Does any one have suggestions, besides leaving the chrome as is. I will be reworking the pieces somewhat so that's kinda out of the question. Other people have removed it so something has to work.
