Or very fine steel wool if that doesn't work...

acually paintstripper would work, and im bpretty sure that it wouldn't harm chrome in any way, just make sure u don't get it on anythign else...

as long as its real chrome...(nickel plating). Go to Home Depot, and get a can of Acetone. Its the active ingredent in finger nail polish remover.

It will also disolve plastic...it is prefectly safe for metal...again..careful around any plastic.
