    Thank you!A wonderful tip with a toothbrush it's even better! I easily removed the chrome on my Gobots Cy-kill. I'm very happy to have come across your video!😁👍

    what about taking this further and here's my questions: how remove the clear coat which is always under the chrome plating? Any idea?

      I always go over the stripped parts with some sandpaper to clean the rest of that stuff off. I prefer the sanding sponges for this. I guess I didn't mention that in the video did I?

      non acetone nail polis remover but you have to be carefull ,,,i did a video on that on my channel.
      i remove it because its usually thick and pooled upso it obscures the details ,,,sanding wont fix that

    Nice........ Just saw your video on the "Dominos" Indy car ..... ( THAT was a Super [color] Build!! ) and you answer a part of my question there....here!
    But... what was the elapsed time until you wash away "cleaner"
    - What brand 'chrome' do you use to respray? Does that same brand have gold also???
    Again, thanks for the post.... look forward to your answers.

      The over cleaner starts to work immediately. After around 10 min I will wash it off. The cleaner is very strong so I use gloves and my paint respirator.
      For the chrome re-spray I have been using Alclad II chrome. They have a large range of colors and finishes.

    How long did you let the oven cleaner stay on?

    Will this work to remove regular paint (like Testor enamals) also?

    This does not work on automotive plastic trim chrome.

    In my country, hobbyists use bleach to wash chrome away.
