Lacquer thinner works well too.......doesn't harm the chrome and takes the paint off real easily. Make sure the area is WELL VENTILATED and wear gloves as well.....I think it works even better than acetone. I had a Ludwig big-beat hi-hat that I got real cheap off of ebay. Someone had the bright idea to paint over the chrome with "chrome" paint, you know, that stuff in a can that is silver and looks nothing like real chrome? Anyway, I used a rag and lacquer thinner and it came off very easily. And the chrome underneath the paint wasn't that bad! Some people's kids.......................... :rolleyes:
When you say lacquer thinner - that's regular paint thinner - right?
