    Hey all!

    I had always noticed on my Williams 1991 Bride of Pinbot that her helmet has been coated with a dull silver spray paint and underneath is the original glossy chrome color. I’d like to remove the silver paint without removing the original chrome finish. I was wondering your all’s recommendations for doing so? Thanks! Attached below is a picture of the helmet, it is apparent that someone spray painted over the original finish:

    Quoted from wamonkey:

    Not possible - its just plastic - would be different if it was metal. Just buy a new one, they are out there if you want the original chrome.

    Ah, I figured. Thanks for the response.

    Thanks for all the responses! I may try spray painting a new layer of chrome in attempt to match the original. Any recommended paints? Thanks!

    All of those are great techniques! May just use the spray paint! Couldn’t hurt
