Going to remove black paint (not sure what kind....enamel maybe) from some chrome big logo smoothies caps....

Any advice on how best to do this?

Thanks

If the paint is not real thick you could use extra fine steel wool and some lacquer thinner and see if that will take it off.

Most nail polish remover is just acetone which you can get cheaper at the hardware store.

The acetone at the store is MUCH stronger.
Please wear gloves.

Or use paint stripper, it shouldn't hurt the chrome.
