I tried soaking them in Simple Green over night, and then brushing it off. I was able to tarnish it and get some of it off, but still too much hangs on.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021484.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021484.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021583.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021583.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini
However you only need to stack for 20 mins. You might need to do 2 sessions if it’s really thick.

Be careful not to leave it longer than 20 mins as it can make some plastics brittle.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021641.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021649.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021649.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini

Chrome is a tad different than paint, it has layers of copper and nickel rather than soft paint


But it’s still a paint right? So if nothin else works carful application of nail varnish remover should melt it?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021667.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021667.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini

Edit
Your right, it is paint I should have Googled it

Isopropyl alcohol should see it dissolved ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021675.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021675.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini
If I can't get rid of it tonight with my toothbrush, then, I will hotnit with the isopropyl alcohol.

Update: I put these guys in my sonic cleaner with the same Simple Green overnight, and it seems to have done some work. I ran the sonic cleaner a few times last night and today, and they are looking greyer now with just a few flakes of chrome here and there.

I will run it a few more times today, abd tonight I will take them out and give them another vigorous toothbrushing. It looks like they will be good to go tonight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11021902.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022066.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022066.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022269.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022269.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022309.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022312.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022312.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini

No, Denatured Alcohol is a mix of methanol and ethanol its sort of a distant cousin to isopropanol alcohol]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022403.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022403.page GMT Removing Montana Gold Chrome from a plastic mini

And also make sure you have adequate ventilation. Methylated spirit fumes can be very disorientating, and the smell itself can be very pungent. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/795124/11022568.page GMT
