Krazy Rick Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 My friend asked how to do this & I don't have a clue - he's tried mineral spirits, alcohol, nail poish remover, enamel thinner - all didn't budge it & finally, lacquer thinner ( which killed the chrome ) ...... is there something that really works ? The part he's working with is the gold stuff, from a Monogram Paddy Wagon kit. - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 (edited) That is gold plating , so you wouldn't be able to find chrome underneath. or I may be wrong . Edited August 31, 2014 by randx0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
