Sorry I forgot to say acrylic.
Do you mean you want to take the chrome plate of the kit parts?

I should have worded it a bit better I know what to use to strip it off I should have said what is the best acrylic chrome paint to replace the chrome paint.
I've seen excellent results with Alclad, takes some work though.

I like the Vallejo Metal Colours. Ok not as good as a lacquer but easier to use. Vallejo do a gloss black primer. Works well under the metallic top coat although like other Vallejo primers I find it tip dries on the airbrush. I also feel that a really chrome finish is somehow not right for a model. The Vallejo chrome seems more "in scale" if that makes sense.
By the way what do you use to strip the chrome in the first place?

At the moment I haven't started yet but I have been told that bleach works well
This isn't what you asked for I know, but the best chrome I've come across is alclad. It may be time to try it ?
