Thanks everyone for their advice. Ended up using lacquer thinner on a rag
soaking over the chrome for about 1 hour. Worked good to get the black paint
off. Had no affect on the chrome.
However, under the black areas was this off white, very sticky, glue like,
paint, which I ended up scrubbing with #0000 steel wool, alot of elbow grease,
and 2 cups of coffee to keep the elbow grease level up to par. I don't think
it was primer, but it eventually came off. I found out why it was painted
black though. The PO tried to cover the rusted areas on the chrome. But I am
working on that now.
I will have to get the buffing wheel out and try to get that off.
Again thanks everyone for their input, very useful.
