    I can't get the chrome off this. I used acetone on the blue of the emblem and that came off easy. I then tried painting it red with spray paint and it didn't really stick, so I sprayed it again and the paint just cracked up.
    Idk what to use to remove this chrome so the paint will stick... Any ideas?

    Get some 300 grit. Rough it up a lil (just some scuffing). Spray it w/ some self etching primer. Let that set for 2-3 hrs. Then apply the color paint you want it to be.
