chrome under paint

I have a set of four rims that I boight with a parts truck that are painted white... I see where it is chipped that there is chrome under the white paint. These rims have potential except for the white paint... How can I remove the paint without hurting the chrome?

Weak paint thinner and elbow grease is probably the safest method. You might get away with coke and aluminum foil too. I would think anything more abrasive would scratch or remove the chrome.
