Removing paint from Chrome
A while back I decided to paint the chrome window trim black. Well, now it is flaking off piece by piece. I also wanted to remove the paint from the B-pillar as well.
I have tried a razor blade and a screw driver, but the blade doesn't dig deep enough and the screw driver seems to scratch the chrome. How can I safely remove the paint?
What about if there are scratches? Can you wet sand and polish chrome like clear coat and paint?

I just did this on my '50 Streamliner........... I had primed it and needed to get my hood chrome strip back.

Works great.
Before, check out the middle of the hood:
After, I got my chrome back:
