911SC: Removing "paint" from chrome window trim??

[thefaculty]

Hi everyone,

The PO of my 911SC painted the chrome window trim black (along with a not awesome black paint over of the entire car including painting the interior dash and door panels - cheapass!). Someday it will get stripped back to fair metal and resprayed white/cream but for now I would LOVE to return to the original chrome trim for a more classic look.

My question is does anyone have a recommendation for the best approach to removing this paint before I botch this up?

• Would paint stripper be idiotic?
• Sanding?
• Would I need to remove the frames from the car to do this?

All advice greatly appreciated and before you slate me: YES I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS and have not yet found an answer hence my reason for posting here.

Thanks everyone!!
