I recently had my car painted and there is some overspray on the chrome wheels. How can I get it off?
Fortunately, the paint will not ‘stick’ to the chrome very well, and is therefore relatively easy to remove. Get some lacquer thinner from the hardware store – you won’t need much. Moisten a rough rag, like an old facecloth or towel, with the lacquer thinner. (Be sure to use proper safety equipment, and be sure not to allow any of the lacquer thinner on painted surfaces.) Rub over the overspray areas with the moistened cloth. The thinner will take a couple of minutes to soften the paint and make it easy to wipe off. Just keep the area moist and let the thinner work for you. When all of the paint is removed, be sure to completely flush the chrome and the surrounding areas with water. If desired, finish with a quality chrome polish.
