Removing Chrome from RPM Wheels

[DarthRacer]

I am looking for the easiest way to remove the chrome from RPM wheels. My Clawz have seen better days and it is time to dye them. I found out that denatured alcohol and a toothbrush will get the chrome off, but it takes way too much time and elbow grease. I am worried about how the nylon will react when soaked in a solvent like alcohol so I haven't tried that yet. Does anyone have a tried and true method that will not harm the wheels?

Try a dremel tool with the soft wire wheel or the buffing wheel.

I've heard soak em in simplegreen overnight also.

I heard that soaking in simplegreen overnight works also. I believe it has to be undiluted though.

Easy off, it will strip it off easily in about 15 min, it works great! Same thing for T bumpers, once they get scratched up hit em with easy off, come back in 15 min and they will be stripped clean with no harm done to the plastic.

A dremel and a wire weel work great.The crome flies right off.

Easy off is the way to go. a wire brush if not carefull could harm the plastic.

Yeah, the wire wheel will scar up the plastic, easy off works great with no effort.
