Hello, been a regular reader here for some time, but am looking for any advice/experience in removing chrome.  My pump bowl was chromed at one time, but age hasn't been good to it and it is starting to flake off in several areas, but only about the size of a pencil so I want to remove it all to refinish with paint to match the hull.  Anybody had any success in this area?  I have tried to get a thin blade under the edge around some of the bare areas, but the chrome doesn't seem to want to flake off.  I'm open to any suggestions.
