Re: rust/paint remover

Start with a product called Naval Jelly and coat them with it to remove the rust. The paint can be removed with lacquer thinner or carb cleaner.

Re: rust/paint remover

You can go to any hardware store and ask for the Naval Jel. The chrome finish is a metal coating and these products will not hurt it.
