Striping chrome off armrest bases?

[Auggie56]

I see on YT one used "Easy Off" oven cleaner, the other a heat gun, which concerns me with such a small part. Does anyone have any success removing that chrome?

I would think it would sand right off if its 50 plus years old.

Good oven cleaner. Stripped my dash pieces to white plastic.

westleys blech-white tire cleaner, I just stripped my arm rest bases last month, works great, I got a gallon from Amazon , less than $20, soak and repeat , rinse with water.

I stripped it off the arm rests of my 64 Sport Fury when I was in high school in the late 60s. Pretty sure I didn’t have anything at hand stronger than rubbing compound.

OK, used "Easy Off" oven cleaner. It worked great on all the exposed areas. Not so the ones covered by the armrest. I used a razor blade but it's tough.
Use satin black to refinish, it looks great.
