painting grill

i want to color match the grill on my car. the only problem i am having is the fake chrome that the factory puts on it is starting to bubble a little. so how do i go about getting all the chrome off before i paint it.

"Easy Off" foaming oven cleaner removes the 'chrome' without hurting the material under it.

either use easy off or just get some elbow grease into it and use the sandpaper. either way can't go wrong
