I think I asked this before, but what is the best way to remove rattle can satin black paint from the chrome door and trunk locks? The PO went ape $#!# and rattle canned the whole car including those locks.. I have toyed with the idea of just replacing them, but was wondering if they could be cleaned.

 
Just a thought, but masking them off and using some rubbing compound with a drummel or a small drill pad might work.

Lacquer thinner may be a better choice than brake fluid. Whatever is used, make sure they are rinsed clean in the end and lubricated before re-installing.
