Subject: Removing Paint From a Bumper

Some of you know that I got hit from behind in my Alpine a few weeks
ago. I'm putting a positive spin on the whole thing by using the ordeal
as an excuse to get everything fixed. Of course, that means I can't go
first class. One thing that is being postponed is re-chroming the
bumpers. I found a used replacement for my destroyed rear bumper that
has some shine left and pretty much matchs the one in front. I figure
I'll get them both re-chromed next year. For now, though, I need to
clean up my replacement. The main problem is white paint that was
apparently oversprayed onto about a quarter of the bumper. Any
suggestions for removing it without ruining the chrome? How about
for cleaning and shining generally? Many thanks.
