remove paint off chrome?

What can i do to remove paint off chrome with out damaging the chrome?

If you are talking about the Dodge lettering on the hood, take the letters and soak them in some lacquer thinner for a short period and brush them with a soft brush. Chemical paint stripper shouldn't hurt the chrome either. Just don't sand it or use steel wool. Will also work on stainless trim. Be careful with the aluminum parts like the headlight bezels though.

Thanks,its not just on the letters it is also on some trim,previous owner before my friend had it,sprayed it without taping it off.

Try Lacquer Thinner. Easy to get.

If they didn't mask properly,they probably didn't use high end paint either.

No,they just used cheap spray paint.

Soak the stuff in 409 overnight. The spray paint will come off like hot butter, and it's very gentle.

I use 409 to strip paint off model kits. If you're patient it works wonder without even having to rub...

Fine steel wool. It cleans and polishes. No mess

Use a product called GOOF OFF found at any hardware store in the paint dept..

Err I wouldn't try lacquer thinner on that stuff... I'd get that ultra fine steel wool... MAYBE some denatured alcohol... But even that might fog up the clear on it...
