A question: I'm trying to de-chrome a couple of Italeri sprues. I've tested with regular bleach: no go. I've tested with a "professional" oven/bbq cleaner: no go. The cleaner completely stripped the paint of my alligator clips, but not from the sprue.
I am not a fan of Italeri products, but their chrome sticks perfectly (sadly enough).
Who can give me a nod in the right direction? Preferably with a product easily bought in The Netherlands.

Martin, I had the same experience. One side of the sprues dechromed quickly. Was thinking one side has a lot more chrome on it but there does also seem to be some kind of residue afterwards too so not sure what's going on. I've dechromed about 20 of my kits and had issues with 3: Revell's Isetta, ICM's Model T and this kit.

Finally found some mr Muscle. Works way better than the other products. One soak of three-four hours wasn't enough yesterday. So the sprues are taking another bath today
