pschlosser.. thanks for validating it’s painted. Was afraid i have to remove paint from chrome! will mask and respray using gloss black.
thank you everyone for the replies and insights.. all very informative!
71 Cuda tail light panel was spray painted black 30 yrs ago over the factory OEM stainless steel.
How do I remove the paint? not sure if paint thinner is the right way to remove it without damaging the metal underneath. Appreciate the advice everyone.
