De chroming wheels

[fireguard62b]

I know there is probably a thread already but how do you get the chrome off wheels? Especially the Tamiya ones as I need to paint them red.

Spray them with oven cleaner like: Easy-Off, keep the items in a clear plastic bag tied up for an hour. The chemical will eat the chrome finish and leave bare plastic. Rinse very well to get rid off residue.
Cheers.

soak them in house hold bleach. will remove chrome and leave clear coat alone under chrome
