you can try paint stripper? but be careful that stuff burns your skin on contact. It comes in a spray can. But Idk how harsh it is on the plastic, I've only used it on my aluminum intake plenum to get this paint off.

But for mine I just used sandpaper, like 400 grit or 800 grit. It came right off after I did that for about 30 min.

if you cut a chunk of the chrome plating off with a razor blade, you can peel it off with your fingers in pretty good sized pieces.....this is probably the fastest way really, except itll scrape up your fingers good because the plating has sharp edges.

peeling is the easiest way to go hurts your fingers like hell but is not too time consuming

lol, okay don't use that. Umm, yeah then i guess try just pulling the chrome trim off. I only used sandpaper once i had the bulk of it off. Well most of mine was already gone anyways.

just use sandpaper lol, it'll eventually get it off.

I just sanded the surface until it wasn't shiny. Then I primed and painted over it.

yep, primed and painted mine too. I did two coats of prime just for nice even coverage and then 3 coats of black paint.
