Is your painted or chrome?
If its painted just use some paint stripper. But if its chrome I believe it has to be sanded down.

Good luck... that is not going to happen. If it was done right it should have been lightly handed to allow the paint to stick if he didn't of will flake away and look like crap. I have a nice set for sale.

Better off to keep them black just sand them down and paint them black again. Will look way nicer.
